Remove a main vacuum line (PCV valve works good) and shoot some carb cleaner down the tube. Crank it over and see if it will try to start, or if it will start and die. If it does start/tries, then most likely it's the fuel pump. If the fuel pump went out, it's caused by a plugged fuel filter.
You don't want to guess at what's wrong and throw parts at it. That'll just cost you extra.
Check for fire and post back.
