Hi rkt,

Test if the injectors are pulsing and has power to one of the terminals when igniton switch is turned on.

Spray some starting fluids into throttle body to see if you can get the engine to fire up momentarily, if yes it indicates a fuel problem.

Perform a cylinder compression test to see if it is a mechanical fault.
