If you have been starting it over the winter and letting it run and shutting it down the plugs are probably fouled,
Try changing them or cleaning them good.
Check your intake for a mouse nest but I would go with the fouled plugs.
Can you hear the fuel pump pressurize ?

check the fuse to the injectors. I've had that happen when it stalled out, don't know why the fuse blew but it did

Try boosting it anyway,you never know and its a free solution if it does start.
