Okay Hot and Cold No Start-Lets try looking for a spark at each plug wires while the engine is being crank over-Do you have spark? You need to answer

Did you get the spark on all the wires and is it a snapping blue spark-not yellowish. Okay we got spark, now its time to look for fuel- 3x for 5sec interval crank engine over-start or no start remove spark plugs is it wet with fuel.You need to answer. Check the circuit opening and EFI main relay-make sure its in there tight. If you know how to test it do so-this two has to work-its dealing with the sensors and the fuel injection system.also check the EFI and Ignition fuse. Note:Give me a little background of your mechanical and electrical abilities you can do. Do you have a digital multimeter? If you're a DIY this is the time you'll learn from the 2carpros Elite Auto Technicians.
