Hello,

Generally speaking, you will need spark, fuel and compression to start the engine.
Have you checked for spark to the plugs?
Spark issues can be due to plugs, ignition coil, ignition control module. It can also be due to a faulty crank position sensor.
Keep in mind if there is inadequate fuel pressure it might not start the engine either.

The best course of action would be to look at each possibility and go from there.

Take a look at this guide, it goes over the typical diagnostics process for crank no start issues:

Go through these and let me know what you find or if you have any questions.

Thank you.
