Engine spins but does not start. Brings fuel to the injectors, but does not seem to have any electrical signal. All fuses are okay, the electric pump works in the tank.

Hello,

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor is not working. Can you check for spark at the plugs? This guide should help.
