First thing to check for are fire and fuel. Turn the switch on and try and hear your fuel pump in the tank run. Then check at the fuel rail the schrader valve and see if you have fuel pressure there. Be careful it will be under pressure. To check for fire, while cranking use a spark tester on one of the plug wires to see if you have fire. Get back to us after you have tried these tests. Thanks Curt

thanks for that curt. always check for pressure with a pressure guage, safer and it will tell you if you have enough pressure, 10psi matters.
