If you have spark and fuel it should start. If you have incorrect fuel it wont start. A common thing there is a temp sensor, map sensor, or maf sensor. If you have a scan tool to read the data, that should show you the problem. Temp should read ambient temp, maf should read 0, and map should read 90 mpa give or take 15 depending on your conditions. Grounds usually affect spark or fuel or both so I rule that out. If you have a way to check codes that would be great, but if you are missing a crank signal, it wont have spark. I would find a way to look at your data, if you want more help, PM me and i will try to give you some more direction.
