Check your pump as said. if not priming check the relay. If that is ok then the pump is stuffed.

Are you getting spark at the plugs?

Also check your ignition module. Mine used to turn over but not fire and it was the ignition module. Replaced that, no more issues. You should be able to hear your fuel pump prime before starting the car.
