Hi,

Have you confirmed the fuel pressure is within spec and you are getting spark to the plugs?

Do me a favor. See if it starts for a couple of seconds if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, it's fuel related. If there is no change, chances are it is ignition related. At that point, you would need to check for spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know what you find. Note: If possible, record it cranking and upload it for me to hear.

Take care,

joe
