When you turn the key on, do you hear the fuel pump run for a second or two? Is there any fuel pressure at the fuel rail? There's a Schrader valve on it to test, it needs 28 psi to start.

If the pump doesn't run, check the inertia switch, relays, and fuses.

Thanks for the input but I think I figured it out. Lost the original key so was using a spare. Need to get new keys because they're chipped. =glc;5083532]When you turn the key on, do you hear the fuel pump run for a second or two? Is there any fuel pressure at the fuel rail?
