Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, we need to confirm that fuel pressure is within the manufacturer's specs and it is getting spark to the plugs. If both are good, then confirm there is an injector pulse. Here are links that show how to do all three. This model is not offered in the US, so I do not have the specific specifications for it. However, the tests are standard for just about any vehicle.

Perform these tests and let me know what you find. If they all check good, see if it will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid.

Let me know.

Take care,
Joe
