The first thing that comes to mind is a broken cam belt, if this were so the engine would turn over faster than usual when trying to start. Otherwise it would seem that the injectors are not opening which could be an electronic fault or low fuel pressure.

Check plug and wiring to rail pressure sensor has a 3 terminal plug marked 1-2-3 at key on plug disconnected must have a 5v feed at terminal 3. Plug connected back probe terminal 2 at key on with multimeter reading should be approx 0.5v's at cranking reading should be approx 1v wiring to this sensor and plug is a common problem. It would be of benefit if you can post engine code Regards Mickeybo
