Check your ASD (auto shutdown) relay. Swap it with one of the headlight relays and see it it fires up then.

Try wiggling the wiring harness and its header on the pcm while someone cranks it over. Common problem, quick and easy test. Any codes present? And by not "firing" you mean you do have fuel pressure with no spark correct?
