    Pull the fault codes. Does the engine sound normal while cranking. If the fuel pump works do you still have spark?

    Does the whining sound sound normal while starting, doe the engine seem quieter or faster while cranking, how many miles does the engine have, when was the time the timing belt was replaced?
