Battery has a full charge? All battery cables/connection all good? Engine grounds/chassis grounds all good? Did you check to see if computer awake? One way to check is to turn on the key, check for a ref voltage at any sensor that uses a ref voltage. If no ref voltage, the computer isn't awake, check voltage and ground circuits for computer. Pink wire at ignition coil is primary voltage and fuse protected, key on. Use a test light to check. Any applicable trouble codes?
