I had the same situation several months ago. Diagnose this methodically. Think spark, fuel and then air/electrical. If fuses check out and it's not the crank position sensor then start with spark. Easy to pull a coil pack and shove a grounded plug into it and crank the engine. Look for a nice blue spark.

Next pull the fuel pump relay and jumper it. It's another check to what Spinnaker said but with your head in the footwell, you should hear the pump turn on as soon as you jumper the relay. If the pump runs, you're probably getting fuel so Che k the relay for continuity and function. Energize it and see if it clicks (relays are making contact). If not, bad relay. Just because your fuel pump runs doesn't mean you are getting fuel (ask me how I know). Check fuel pressure. My problem turned out to be a stuck fuel pressure relay. Good luck...
