Hello, with the engine cranking, did you visually check for spark at the plugs? Also, check for injector pulse. If no spark or injector pulse, during cranking, check cam and crank sensor.

No spark, how do you check the injector pulse. Sounds like cam or crank sensor is the issue.

The autostores sell noid lite. You plug the noid lite into the injector plug, crank engine, the lite should pulse. One wire is voltage, the other is a pulsing ground, the ground is switched on and off, to pulse the injector/s.
