That is the first step to troubleshooting a no start. Spark, Fuel, Air. Basic small engine troubleshooting. I am sure it is fuel injected. Proper fuel pressure is critical. Check the fuel pump fuse first.
If it is good, and your workspace is quiet, try turning the ignition switch to run position just before starter position and try to hear the fuel pump.
You will still need a fuel pressure gauge to check if fuel presser is within spec. On many vehicles, about 25PSI but only a service manual for that car will have the spec. If it is not to spec and the fuse is good it could be the fuel pump.
Also, timing could be an issue if fuel presser is good.
Best of luck.

cranking is what happens when you turn the key and the engine turns.... Is that what's happening?
If I remember correctly, fuel pressure at the rail should be about 35psi. If higher, check the regulator and the return line.(could be blocked)
Crank sensor sends signal to open the injectors (through computer to asd relay). Get a chiltons manual for good wiring diagrams. Crank sensor is a common failure and definitely should be checked.

Are you saying it is not getting fuel pressure at the injectors ?
