'96 won't fire

I have a '96 with a 2.4 and 98,000 miles. All of a sudden my car won't fire. It's run perfect until this weekend. It cranks strongly, but just won't fire up. I suspect a fuel problem. It just feels like it's not getting gas. I'm not sure what to check first. Any suggestions?

check sparks in spark plugs, check fuel pressure to make sure

broken or loose wires in coil u get check engine light on?

just check the usual fuel pressure should be between 47 to 57 psi

blown fuses for pump or ignition, fuel pump works?

it makes a noise when u switch the key on

make sure the usual suspects arent the ones to blame

before doing something more thorough
