check the basics. make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. if spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, 46--50 psi. Check for fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes? try cycling the key on and off several times before you crank it, see if it helps get it started? with key on, can you hear the pump run for a couple of seconds?

Easiest way is to just disconnect fuel line coming in try and crank it then see if fuel comes spitting out. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO IF GAS SQUIRTS OUT EVERYWHERE ALL OVER THE MOTOR DO NOT TRY AND START IT AGAIN UNTIL GAS IS CLEANED UP!!!!!!
