Is any fuel available at start? Between the cold start valve and injectors, you should smell fuel in the intake after a start attempt.

IS the fuel pump energized? Turn the key to the 2nd position before cranking and push in the AFM door. Fuel pump buzz should be audible.

Good clean fuel filter?

Fresh tank of gas?

I tried pushing in the barn door on the AFM and you can hear the relay click but I don't hear the fuel pump pushing fuel
