Have you checked to make sure the oil sending unit isn't bad. It will shut the engine down if the computer thinks there is no oil pressure. Do me a favor. Check to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine.

Check that and let me know what you find. Also, see if it will start for a few seconds with starting fluid.
