Crank position sensor is usually a "no start when hot" thing but I guess it can fail other ways...
You can't get starter fluid in there in any practical way - I suppose you could pull a vacuum line and shoot some in - but that won't tell you much.
There is a schraeder valve (like a tire valve) on the fuel rail - make sure you have pressure there.
How old is your fuel filter and pump?
BBA-Reman seems to be the place for SIDs and ACC panels.
When you say 'no start' - does it crank but not start running, or doesn't crank at all when you turn the key?
How old are your spark plugs and DI Cassette?
