If your engine cranks but doesn’t start, you have to find out what’s missing: fuel, spark, compression. So the first step is to check the following:
Fuel: Check for proper fuel pressure. You may have to install a fuel pressure tester in line with the fuel system as I don’t think there’s a fuel port for such test on this car.
Spark: check for spark with a tester
Compression: Using a compression tester, check for proper compression in each cylinder.
Once you know which one of these 3 elements is missing, come back and we’ll look at why it is missing.
