Assuming the battery's good...and there is fuel to pump...I'd be doing my
rounds of "wiggling", the fuel pump relay, check connections on the
critical stuff, like main grounds, wires to the battery itself (see that
terminal wires are snug) , the ignition coil wires, and the big fat ones on
the cap, starter wires, anything electrical that could completely disable
the car. Does it even try to crank?
