Was the fuel pressure checked? Is fuel getting to the injectors?

When was the fuel filter last changed?

Have you pulled a spark plug out and lain it on the manifold and cranked the engine to check for spark?

Spray a little starting fluid in the throttle body (or remove the air filter and spray) and crank the engine over.  
If it starts then dies you will know you have a fuel supply problem.

Check for spark first.

Check to see if there is spark getting to the plugs.
