I admit i'm completely ignorant about fuel injection. I cut my teeth on carbs.
I had this same problem on a EFI Ford F-150 P/U. The starter was turning the motor but no start. The problem was the throttle position sensor malfunctioning. By holding the throttle wide open, the TPS is over ridden and the motor started. The truck started every time after this but I had the TPS replaced anyway. Problem never occured again.
