First you need to determine if it is a spark or fuel issue. Try spraying some starting fluid in the trhottle and seeing if it fires up even for a few seconds. If it does it's a fuel delivery problem. If it still won't start you'll need to check for spark

1. Check for spark. That is always the first thing I do with a no-start. You are looking for a strong, BLUE, snapping spark. Yellow/orange/white indicates a weak spark, which may not be strong enough to start the engine.
Test your way to a solution. Don't throw parts at this on a hunch!

alot of times the most common issue seems to be the CPS, or NSS... try starting it in N. if it does, then you need to clean/replace the NSS. getting it on a code reader is realy the only way to know what is happening.. but thats my guess for now...
