  1. Dont go to that shop anymore.
  2. Engine needs gas, spark on time plus air & healthy cranking

To narrow problem sources:

- does it crank?

- When problem is acute, disconnect one coilpack, insert spare plug, ground it on engine and view for spark while smbdy starts.

- Feel fuel hose; if pressure is healthy, its stiff.

- Run self diagnostics, and/or purchase a tester
