Welcome to ZDriver!

An engine needs 3 things to start (if mechanically sound):
-Proper air
-Proper fuel
-Proper spark.

So... if you have verified spark at the plugs, it's a safe assumption that it's either not getting any fuel, or it's flooded.

Can you hear the fuel pump kick on? Have you checked the fuel pressure? Have you pulled the spark plugs to read the tips?

If you haven't done so yet, I suggest downloading the FSM from www.xenonz31.com/reference
