Default why wont my teg start?

I know there are many possibilities but I figure it has to be something I over looked.

I bought a 94 LS a couple days ago. The person who had it crashed it into a stone wall backwards(dont ask). So he had it parked behind his house and went out 2 weeks ago to take the intake off. The car did start at this time.

I checked the fuses and they were fine. Any ideas?

Does the car attempt to turn over or does it just sit there when turning the key?

could be a fuel line problem. maybe last time it started, it ran off the little amount of fuel that was in thelines, but now its not pumping anymore. just a possibility

pull out an injector see if it spits, or for less mess put a screwdrive on top where the injector is plugged, and put your ear on the handle and see if you can hear it spit. (sounds redneck, but it works)

pull a plug wire out and arc it see if there is spark.

ghetto tip #2 spray some carb cleaner in the intake manifold as you are cranking it. once it starts, give it some gas, let it sit for while, then kill it and see if it cranks.

take a look at the dist. and the spark plugs as well.
