You only need three things to start: fuel, compression and spark.
Quick check to ensure your ready to start:
Head lamps turn on? Dash lights up, etc?
-What is the battery voltage at rest (nothing on)
Over 12.5V? Fully charged battery info is listed below
When cranking does the battery voltage drop below 9.6 volts?
Fuel pressure can be checked at the fuel rail with a pressure gauge. Pumps deliver pressure and volume. To start, the only thing that is important is pressure at the injectors. We have two pumps to trim the fuel levels. Do you have more than 1/2 a tank?

Start with these and let us know what you discover....
