Are the plugs actually sparking? Do you have fuel to fuel rail? If so, are the injectors pulsing? Are there any codes in the ECM? Have you scanned them? To you have power to the fuel pump? There is really no way to answer your question over the internet.
Heater blower motor not working

I have a 1999 VOLVO
