There are only four things that make an engine run. An air/fuel mixture, an ignition source, compression, and having those three timed correctly.
I assume it didn't jump time and, therefore, has no compression problem. You say that the fuel pump and injectors are working. Then you need to check the ignition system for spark.

Pull one of the plug wires and check for spark. Put a screwdriver in the end of it and hold it close to a good ground and have someone crank it over while you watch for a good spark. Report back with what you see.
