Hello,

Anytime you have the crank no start issue, you need to verify if the engine is getting spark and fuel.
Does the fuel pump come on when the key is in the on position?
An inoperative fuel pump can be due to a bad relay or a faulty pump.
One way to check for fuel delivery issues is to spray starting fluid into the intake and then try to start. If the engine runs for a few seconds, then the issue is fuel related.

Checking the fuel pump relay is a good place to start. That relay is located in the fuse box next to the battery (see diagram below).

Also need to check to see if the spark plugs are getting spark.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

Let me know what you find or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
