If you have fuel then you likely do not have spark, enough spark or spark at correct time. I don't know your experience level but if it was mine I would pull a plug wire, put a spare plug in it and lay on metal surface. Then crank car to see if you have spark. Depending on what you see troubleshooting moves to the distributor or some other electrical part of ignition system. Good luck.
