TAke off the fuel rail with inJectors, turn it upside down and turn it over see if fuel comes through, if not could be blocked injectors, or fuel filter. Do u hear the fuel pump prime?

Have a look on the search engine on here m8.Lots of people have had similar problems to yours which have pointed towards issues with the ECU and immobiliser.

Which engine code? Suspecting anti-theft controller (control unit that sits behind the light swith), ECU relay - these very very often have bad solder points causing problems with starting.
I suggest that you check the third relay from the left in the upper row. Take it out, disassemble and check solder points... Same for the anti-theft controller.

Maybe this helps. Are there any faults stored in the ECU?
