Maybe you ran the battery down? Make sure battery has full charge and all connections clean and tight. After that, can you communicate with computer? Any applicable trouble codes?

flooding so remove the air filter and look at the fuel injectors.turn on the key on.then they should pulse once.there should be no fuel dripping from the injectors or they will need to be replaced.the s wire gets power from the ignition switch on the top of the column. check for voltage on the brown wire with key in start position.
