low compression? fuel pump in good shape? clogged fuel filter?
might want to check those... also prolly take a look at the factory service manual and go thru the starting problems section
(thats all assuming that its turning over ok, if its not then you might have a dieing battery, alternator or starter)

Do the compression test first - no point in spending money on other stuff when a few minutes with a tester will tell you if you're wasting your time and $ or not...
