Do you have a fuel pressure gauge, or know someone you can borrow one from?

Just from the symptoms assuming there are no electrical issues you are not getting fuel fuel or the PATS is not allowing the engine to start. Does the PATS light flash with the key on and engine off? Press and hold the trip odometer button while turning the ignition switch to Run. When tESt appears release it.
press and release it till dtc appears with a number. Record all the numbers with the a dtc code in front of them.
