Hi,

This could be a number of different things but lets start with fuel. We need fuel pressure in order to start the engine. Also, you need spark and compression but we can get to that after we confirm fuel.

An easy way to see if it is fuel is to spray starter fluid in the intake and see if the engine starts for a second. If not, then we need to move onto spark. Let me know if you have pressure or if it starts off of fluid and we can go from there. Thanks
