Test crank and camshaft sensors. Then fuel pressure. Test all fuses, also pay special attention to starter and fuel relays. Test voltage drop on battery wires to starter. Test starter and check voltage back at fuel pump. This should pinpoint issue

This happened to me and I was told to check the ground wire from battery to starter. It could be corroded or needs cleaning.
