Check for oil in the big plugs which are plugged into your ECM ... if there is lots, clean out the plugs (a de-greasing spray or brake cleaner spray does a good job) and try to start her up. If this gets it going, arrange to have the injector wiring loom replaced (fairly easy DIY job.)
Temporarily run an earth wire from your battery to your ECM earth point under the driver's seat. If it starts, make a permanent connection.
Next, check your CKP sensor as the wires become brittle with the heat and can either short circuit or break.
Next, listen carefully to your fuel pump when you turn the ignition on, if it sounds like it's squealing, gurgling or making any funny noises then:
Drop your fuel tank, drain it into a con tainer, remove the in-tank fuel pump and clean out the black sludge in your tank and clean the pump filter. Re-assemble put your fuel back in and drive happy for another year or two.
Alternatively, wait at least 36 hours and try to start her again ... if she starts first time after 36 undisturbed hours, do as suggested by cleaning out your tank.
I hope this helps,
Ron.

Turn the ignition to the second position so all the dash lights come on but do not attempt to crank the engine.
Now listen.....
Can you hear the fuel pump buzzing now? Does it sound noisey? Does it sound like it's gargling? Is it absolutely silent?
