VS 304 not starting.

Hey all.
I was getting in to the spirit of Bathurst with a few morning beers and thought I'd give my VS HSV ute a kick. It ran for 5 seconds and then died.
It turns over has new fuel and my volt stick is detecting spark through the leads. It hasn't been run in a while, first time it's ever let me down.
I have a VR Senator with the same motor that runs. Just wondering where I should start pinching parts to test?

After checking the voltage I'm thinking coil now. The volt stick threw me.

First thing I'd do is prime the fuel pump a bunch of time to make sure there's pressure through the lines and fuel rail as it's been sitting for a while.

If that doesn't do anything, another easy swap is the ignition module on the passenger side strut tower. They're fairly common to fail.

Speaking of fuel......Before you start it, pinch off the fuel return hose with some pliers or multi grips and
see if it runs then.
