I'd start with the basics. Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Check for fuel injector pulse, engine cranking. Can you check for applicable trouble codes? To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader.

Check for rpm signal and your security system. There could be other issues?

Just to add, if you have the spider fuel system, that system is noted for problems. Key on engine off 60--66 psi.
