Have you listened to engine with key turned?, checked fuel pump/filter?, check all hoses and wires are properly connected and try again, if you manage to run it see if it revs high but loses speed almost always tends to be top end seizure if that's the case!

start by renewing your fuel filter, and check fuel flow to injectors
