Car needs 4 items to start: fuel, spark, compression, and timing.
1) make sure the timing belt is intact and turning the camshaft, If so, timing is most likely OK, but you might want to check all timing marks line up. If not, it needs to be fixed.
2) Pull each spark plug, 1 by 1, and ground it to the engine block while turning the engine over. Make sure you see spark on each plug. If not, it needs to be fixed (DME, coil, ignition relay, ???)
3) Pull the air cleaner and give the car a shot of starting fluid in the intake while turning the car over.
I'm assuming the car sat for a while (years ?) before you bought it. If the car fires with the starting fluid but will not run otherwise, get a BIG screwdriver and hold it like a pool que and then gently but firmly tap each of the injectors near where they meet the block. Injectors that sit for a while often get gummed up and "bind" The tapping gets them to "unbind" and pass fuel.
