First you need to check for spark, pull off a plug wire put it near ground source and crank engine. You should see a blue spark, if notcheck wires and coil pack. If you get a spark check fuel. There is a valve on the fuel rail to check the pressure. Good luck.

Suggested Repair

Check for spark by holding a plug wire near a ground source while cranking; a blue spark should appear. If there is no spark, inspect the plug wires and coil pack. If spark is present, check fuel pressure at the valve on the fuel rail.
