Default Starcraft won't start

Hi there,

Is anyone able to help with a Chevy-van starcraft 6.5 Diesel.
The car has been standing still for 11 weeks now, at the local garage.
The enigine won't start!
It went to the garage in working order to get a maintenance job, oil, oilfilter and fuelfilter have been replaced.
It drove on the bridge and afterwards the engine has never started again.

They have checked and replaced the cars internal computer, several sensors PMD/FSD and sellenoids on the fuelpump.
They've also checked the timing from camshaft, fuelpump and the injectors.

Nothing helps, there is no fuel by the injectors.
Fuelpump has gotten fuel, we think it is an electrical problem.

Does anyone know the solution to our problem, or even heard of it?
If so, please write a response.

Thank you in advance and for your time!

I'm with those two. But what year is it? it could be as simple as a fuel cut-off that got triggered.

Most vehicles have then on the passenger side under the dash. The one on my escape was behind the kick panel. pull the cover off and push the red button back in.

Just a Guess of course. I don't know that the vehicle in question has one, But it's worth checking. Just weird that you say the Fuel Pump gets fuel but the Injectors dont. Backwards fuel filter do that? lol
