Check the sensors?

Do you have fuel pressure?

Check relays/fuse?

What have you verified?

have gas?
Look under the dash and check all of the fuses. You may be want to twist each one of them around in their holders.

Broken timing belt is my guess. Rotor screw would be 2nd.

I'm thinking DME relay myself. Are you getting spark or gas? If not, probably DME relay.

DME relay. It could also be cracked solder joints on the computer. Trying tapping the computer or moving the harness around. Is the car turning over and just not getting any spark.
