a couple things

first of all have you checked to see if you have fuel at the spark plugs? Are they wet? If not then you don't have fuel getting past the injectors. if they are wet then they are not sparking to burn the fuel.

on the other hand, if you have fuel in therre and it is burning but the valve timing is off then it will not run. Have you checked to see if the timing belt has slipped? This would cause the valve timing to be off and the timing for the ignition would still be ok.

Have you checked for voltage at the pump? Are the plug wires running correct?
