Posting the year, model and engine size would help.

Well, there's your answer. A leak down test would be your next diagnostic.

There might be more to this. How many miles? Did it just not start, or what led up to the no start? Dead battery... was it running rough before the no start.

Need more information

Just a thought, is the fuel pump reconnected, is the fuel pump fuse reinstalled, is the fuel pump relay tightly in place?
