Spray starter fluid into the intake near the throttle body. Try and start it. If it catches and runs for a second or 2, you have a fuel supply problem. If it doesn’t it could be lack of spark. Pull one spark plug wire off the easiest spark plug (assuming you don’t have the DOHC V6… you didn’t say) and get it very close to bare metal on the engine. Have someone crank the engine. If you get spark and you have fuel, you have a bigger problem that will need some diagnostic time.
