Compression? yes does fire up & run
Getting Fuel? only when force fed....
diagnose:
check for fuel pressure when key turned to start position: should be 40psi +
no???
check for 12v+ @ fuel pump
no???
check fuel pump fuses, & relay for voltage & so on...
If you Have voltage @ pump, then make sure pump is turning on, if not then replace pump
Have fuel pressure....yes????
Then install noid light on injector plug, crank engine,while cranking, look to see if you have injector pulse.
Have injector pulse....No???
Then check inj fuse, check all harness connections, etc..
If you have Injector pulse, then may be a timing,opti, or ecm problem
Don't overlook the obvious.... it could be as simple as a fuel filter being completely plugged up!!!

Thank you very helpful I will show this to my neighbor. We didn't get a chance to mess with it last night. the battery was dead and needed to be charged from sitting for 5+ months.
No security light is on the dash... No lights at all. I don't think I hear the fuel pump building any pressure. but will have to check it out...
