Might be flooded. Search the forum for the unflooding procedure and try that.

first charge your battery or get someone over there to jump the car so you have good current.

run the deflood proceedure. Crank for about 30 seconds, at WOT, with the fuel switch off. If the car doesn't start, check that you're getting fuel. If you're getting fuel, check spark. Got spark, then check compression.

You didn't happen to unplug the crank angle sensor, did you?

Pull the spark plugs and do your typical deflood proceedure. Let the combustion chambers air out really well. Maybe spray some b12 or similar in there to help the fuel evaporate. Then put your plugs back in and try to start her.
