when u say its trying to start are you gettin smoke out of the exhaust?

If not its a shut off solenoid power fault.

If you are and its coughing but not starting, crack the pipe nuts that go onto the injectors in succession while cranking to remove trapped air from the injector lines.

there will me a solenoid on the injector pump that needs power when the key is on, use a test light to find a single wire and terminal that has power when you turn the key to accessory position. Attach that to the solenoid.
