Have you confirmed there is no injector pulse with a noid light or similar? are the injectors being supplied with 12v? Are you getting a spark? can you see engine RPM in live data?

yes i checked with light and multimeter. it is not geting injection pulse.
all 4 injector connector have ground (-12volt).
when i sparyed fuel to air intake , it started!
so it have spark. and rpm is rising on dashboard when crancking.

Dont want to state the obvious but as you haven’t mentioned it is the fuel pump operating & is there fuel in the tank (don’t believe the fuel gauge)?
Is there enough fuel pressure?
