Fuel pump fires up ok ?,
Maybe give “Start U Bastard” a go,
But fist make sure you have spark.

Is there fuel at the rail?

Crack a fuel line in the engine bay, wrap a rag and give it a crank

Old fuel should still run the car, just not well

Once you know you have fuel at the injectors then see if they are firing

If no fuel at the rail then it could be the fuel pump, intank pump filter blocked, fuel filter blocked

Sometimes the immobiliser can cut power to the fuel pump

Do you have good spark?

Good luck
