An engine that refuses to start needs 4 ingredients that is Speed/Compression/Fuel/Ignition to fire up.

Start by check the actual fuel pressure-could be the in-tank pick-up screen or fuel pump.

Welcome to my world TM1, I deal with it daily in front of people. Working on the forum is ten times more difficult. There are a wide variety of people that range from skilled to ones that can't check oil. Sometimes you can supply that magic bullet that solves the problem right away, but most of the time you need to play detective, technician and teacher. Ask the questions to know where to go and advise carefully as we all can go down the wrong path from time to time. But also remember to be as respectful as you can. Insulting a member surely will not get the answer you need.
Your technical presence is welcome and qualified.
