Jim,
it might sound silly, but have you tried taking the key off the key ring? They can suffer from a disrupted immobiliser signal,
HTH,

There is a convenient test connection for a fuel pressure tester on RHS of fuel rail (remove plastic engine cover).Check for good fuel pressure when it won't start.
