First thing you gotta do is figure out if there in no spark or no gas. Get a spark plug pull off a plug wire plug it into the test plug rest it on a ground and crank the engine...any spark? Next there is a valve on the fuel rail that looks like a tire valve. Push the stem in with the key On. Any fuel?
Figure this out and we'll go from there!
