Air, Fuel, Spark - Since it cranks, look for these. Clogged air filter? Clogged fuel injectors? (Pull a plug and see if it is wet after cranking.) No spark at plug? With the plug you just pulled, dry it if wet and then re-attach the spark plug lead and hold the plug against a metal part of the engine. Have someone crank the engine and look for a strong spark at the tip of the plug held against the engine part (ground).
