First thing I would check for is a bad fuel pump. Turn key to on postion you should hear the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds even if you do not hear the pump come on it still can be the fuel pump have a fuel pump pressure test done.

I agree check your fuel pressure first if you have a gauge to hook into the line but it can also be your crank sensor could be bad and you may need to replace it
