Hi,

The first thing that needs checked is to see if there is fuel to the engine and ignition spark to the plugs. Take a look through these links:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-an-ignition-system

If you want, see if it will start for a couple seconds if you use starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue. If it still fails to start, then it is ignition related.

Let me know what you find and if this issue started all at once.

Take care,
Joe
