make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, check fuel injector pulse, check applicable trouble codes. Those are the basic checks in my opinion. Let the starter motor cool between cranks, if you do a lot of cranking.
