We know an engine needs fuel , air and spark at the right time to run.

So we check for them . One quick safe way to get some of the answers is to remove one or two spark plugs and see if they are wet or dry.
If wet , fuel is getting into the combustion chamber, If not fuel supply problem. If dry, ignition system problem.
Which condition did you find?

OK, we seem to have a fuel supply problem.

Do you hear the fuel pump run for the 1-2 seconds when you first turn the key on? Yes/No ? If no, recheck work with fuel pump installation Power and ground check also.


If yes,check for power to injectors (12 volts) with the key on. Yes/No ?

Did you check the inertia switch for being tripped ?

If after attempting to start the engine and it did not start and the plugs were dry, means no fuel is getting to the combustion chamber.
No fuel=no start.
