![]() First thing I would do is make sure you are getting spark. Pull a plug wire off and hold it just above the plug while someone cranks the car.

![]() Have you checked under the timing belt cover to make sure the timing belt is still tight/intact? Also like dark 5.0 said, check to make sure there is in fact, spark.
Has this car always had this problem since you've had it, or is it a recent problem?
