check for spark and fuel at spark plugs .. check the fuel pump fuse and use a voltmeter to check you are getting power to the pump ...also check the imoboliser is coming off !!

check the inertia fuel cut off switch is not tripped .. .. it is located behind the centre console (gear lever/radio) on most models !!
