Its either spark or fuel. To check for spark remove the little rubber hose that connects to the throttle body behind the throttle plate. At the hole, squirt wd40 into the throttle body at the same time you crank the motor. If the motor sputters and runs for a moment you have spark and the problem is fuel.

If you get no sputter then its a spark problem. Unless you have other ignition related codes, suspect the cps.
