Is there spark? Was the check engine light on before this? What engine?

Checking for a healthy visible spark at a spark plug is where I’d start.

Well, what’s the fuel pressure at the test port with the key in the on position?

What engine?

Is it turning over fast enough to start?

Will it briefly run with a blast of ether?
