Does the engine turn over?

Can you smell gas?

When was the last tune-up?

If it sounds like it is cranking over faster than usual than I would take a look at the timing belt. If it sounds like it is cranking normal than it couldn't hurt to pull a plug and see if it is wet. If its dry than I wonder if the fuel pump is working?
