Does the starter crank or is it completely dead?

Reply to Marc's Post: The starter does crank. It will turn on and start but won't "catch" and start the car up.

You need to check for spark at the plugs, Injector pulse using a Noid light, and also check fuel pressure using a pressure gauge.

Once it is established witch of these things you are missing I can help you find the cause of the problem.
