Crank and no start condition,do below:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
Does the glow plug light on the dash display light up at all ? ...is the check engine light showing ? (orange engine light) ..start by locking and unlocking doors with remote keyfob then trying to start vehicle ... the immoboliser needs resetting this way after battery replacement !!
