When you find the fuel relay then turn the key on it should make a click sound that means it's open then turn off key then it should click again then relay closes means it's working

So if the petrol is moving from tank to engine then check compression easy way is to press the valve on the fuel rail the petrol should spray out but you can also use a pressure tester

If none of that works then check your fuses located under the steering wheel I would also suggest you check the computer box for faults maybe first try the paper clip test you can google that
