Not sure about any inexpensive/reasonable proprietary diagnostic tools beyond simple OBD (which it sounds like you already tried).

As for your issue, though, have you tried the inertia switch?

a bluetooth OBD2 scanner paired with a good app like Torque (for Android) with let you monitor and log real time engine parameters.

I used this one BAFX Products Bluetooth OBD2 Scan Tool for Check Engine Light and other Diagnostics - Android Compatible : Amazon.com : Automotive

If there is no code to read, and you can't get the car to run, then the scan tool won't help. Even without a check engine code, the tool would really only be useful to log data from a running engine.

The most you can do at this point would be to check the sensor values and compare them to the normal pre-start sensor vales to see if something is off...

But it sounds like you need to check the basics, fuel, spark, air, and cam/crank timing signal. Then go from there.

Your Alarm is not dis-engaged most likely. The alarm disables the fuel pump. Behind the driver's seat is an access panel which accesses the fuel pump. See if it is getting power before you do too much critical analysis. No power to pump, most likely the fuel pump has been disabled by the alarm. If the car has been wrecked, there is a reset button you need to hit in the engine compartment, on the driver's side. It performs a fuel cut-off when an impact has occurred.

Fuel pressure will show whether the pump is working or not.

Bri3d was right. It was the inertia switch. I reset it as soon as I got home and started right up. Now everything works. Time for a bodywork and a paint job. In a couple of weeks it should be like new and of course mods will start right after that. .
