injectors, timing, injector harness, starter solonoid, starter, idle air bypass, tps, throttle body, ignition switch, battery, battery cable, burnt wire, coil, coil wire, plug wire, plug, distributor, cap, rotor button, pip sensor, maf sensor, computer, and about umpteen other things...

I'd start by telling us year, trans, mileage, add ons, the last thing you did, and exactly what it is doing. Then try this:

pull the coil wire off the coil and check for spark first,,if there is spark spray some carb cleaner and see if she will try to start..no spark check power to coil...also u can depress the schrader valve on the injector rail to see if u have any pressure..(under cranking).......did it ever run at all? what happen .....run one day and not the other.../?

Most of the time when they just stop running like that it's the TFI module, if you're getting spark at the coil check spark at the cylinder, there is none thats a good place to start.

Can you hear the fuel pump running ? If not, suspect the fuel pump relay or maybe the fuel pump emergency shut off if it's been bumped or hit, maybe it needs to be reset.
