Start with the basics, rule out what you can.

1) Are all the fuses and relays in tight? pull off the cover and check them all.

2) can you hear the fuel pump running?

3) does it have fuel pressure? After cranking the engine, depress the shrader valve and verify you have fuel pressure.

4) do you have spark? either use a timing light or remove a plug, ground it and have someone tuen the enine over, se if you have spark. HOLD THE PLUG WITH AN INSOLATED PLIERS!

5) Are the fuel injectors pulsing? You hcan purchase a niod light to see if the injectors are repeatedly pulsing, also pull a plug to see if it's wet.

6) How much fuel is in the car and how old is it? We chased a problem for weeks and replaced a ton of parts and eventually found about 4 gallons of water in the tank!

Some of the common issues are bad grounds and corroded wires. The wire from the coil to opti often corrode and fail. Check the ground wires on the front of the drivers side head.

Once you determine what you don't have, fuel, spark, then you can start to track down what the faied part is.
