Plenty of things! Check to see if the spark plugs are sparking when cranking, or disconnect the fuel pump at its plug, and connect a 12 volt bulb of at least 5W to the plug. Crank the engine and see if the bulb lights when doing so.
Pull out the fuel pump relay and link pins 30 and 87 of its socket with a piece of wire, with the engine off. you should be able to hear the fuel pump whirring away at the back of the car, and creaking noises should come from the fuel rail on the engine.
