do the usual, check for spark, check for fuel pump (i know, check it again)

check for injector pulse, if there is all of the above, should start. Ive seen instances where peoples timing belts are so far gone that they have pretty much let go when the person shut the car off. If alll else fails, make sure the cams are going (=
