You need to start with some basic, simple tests to narrow down the problem.
As to your no start problem-- If you can get a helper, take your air intake at the throttle body off. Get a clean spray bottle put a little gas in it.
Now have the helper crank the engine while you hold the throttle open and spray some fuel into the intake. If the engine fires off you know it is a fuel delivery problem.

You can use starting fluid in place of the spray bottle of gas but personally I prefer the gas.
This is an easy, simple, cheap test, that will give you some good info, a solid starting point and what direction to proceed.
Let us know how you go
That's a great idea thank you.

At this point though I'm afraid that I'm running in circles to avoid the answer of a fried computer or wire harness etc.
