Start by confirming that you do not have spark. If you have spark, then your problem could be as simple as a dead fuel pump or pump distributor.
The Bentley starts by checking for spark. If no spark, it then checks Hall Sender. If Hall sender is okay, then it checks the coil. Then knock box. Each of these procedures are detailed in the book. Hopefully you have something as simple as a fuel pump fuse. Good luck.
