SAFC or not, generally it comes down to air, fuel and spark. Start with making sure these basic elements are there. Presumably, one of the three are an issue (air would actually be the MAF since it will draw in air regardless of fuel and spark so long as the engine turns over). Checking for fuel will likely be easy. If the engine won't start, if you pull your plugs immediately aftyer trying, you will see and smell fuel on the plug tip. For checking for spark, I usually just hooked up my timing light and aimed it at the underside of the hood. If the light blinks, you are getting a current, and therefore spark. Also consider if it seems to be affecting all the cylinders or not. If its not trying to start at all, there is a good chance its a centralized problem. Make sure you check fuses. Generally, fuel injection wiring is constant positive to the injectors and the ECU will provide a ground to open the injector. A bad fuse or relay will prevent the injectors from receiving the +12 volt signal. You can test for the signal by turning the key to on position and testing the connectors at the injectors.
