Run down the list of things there and let me know if you need anything more after going running through the list of things.

Will it run with starting fluid? Also, can you hear the pump run in the tank key on not cranking the engine over? It could be a crankshaft sensor. When they go bad they don't leave a code. Go over the guide JONNYB1963 suggested to start. Here is the crankshaft sensor location and a guide to help you through the steps:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Yes, I can hear the fuel pump humming when my man turns the key to the on position. Have not tried starting fluid yet but will give that a try.

Please let us know what happens.

I most definitely will. I have a feeling it may be the fuel pressure regulator or the crankshaft positioning sensor. Gonna get some starter fluid today and give that a shot. Will post my results.

So our buddy came and looked at it and it is the fuel pump. Thanks for all the advice. Got it started with some starter fluid.

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.
