Pull the fuel pump relay and see if it will start. Mine will do this once in a while. Once it starts it will only run for a few moments and then die. Put the relay back and restart it.

You need to first see if you have spark.
Remove a spark plug, keep it attached to the plug wire, place the plug electrode near a good engine ground, have a buddy crank the engine while you watch; you are looking for a strong, blue, snapping spark. Yellow/orange/white spark is a weak spark which may not be enough to start your engine.
Verifying spark is job #1.
