Do you have fuel pressure? Are you getting spark?
Those are the first things i would look for. Then you can narrow it down from there.

Have you checked for any plugs that came loose or maybe burned through?

To check fuel pressure you will need a fuel pressure gauge. These can be purchased at virtually any parts store and are not too expensive. The Schrader valve (the valve you attach the pressure gauge fitting onto) is located on the back side of the intake manifold. It's hard to see it back there, but you will have to unscrew a cap...it is really like a larger version of your valve stem on your tire. Tighten the pressure gauge fitting the best you can so it doesn't leak when you turn the ignition on. Have someone try to start the car while you watch the fuel pressure gauge. It should probably be somewhere between 35-43psi. If the measurement is in that range, then you have fuel.
Checking spark just involves pulling a plug, finding something on which to ground it and having someone turn over the engine while you watch for spark.
If there's no spark, chances are your plugs wwill be wet with fuel when you pull them out.
