First start of the day, use a gage and check fuel pressure, key on engine off. What is litre size of engine? When you turn the key on, no crank, can you hear the pump run for a few seconds? With the first start, if you cycle the key on and off two or three times, no crank, does it start faster? How long since a tune-up?
