First thing to check is spark, fuel pressure and injection pulse, can you do this?

Use a spark plug earthed against the engine, have it connected to any plug lead, crank over, you should see a spark, use a screw driver as a stethoscope, one end to your ear and the metal tip on a injector, have the engine cranked you should hear it click, you can also normally feel it click, crack a fuel line, turn on ignition, fuel should spray out, use caution and clean up before attempting a re start as the fuel on the engine may ignite.
