Well I'm not sure where you want to start but whenever I have a vehicle with a no start I always check to make sure I'm getting fuel and spark, so make sure you have both those, as well as good fuel pressure. Then we can go from there.

My sedan used to do that. Take an ohmmeter and check the resistance of the injectors. Mine was DPFI and the injector resistance specs are supposed to be .5 - 1.6 ohms, IIRC. I swapped out the injector that was reading high resistance (I think it was reading like 4.2 ohms) and now it starts up fine after it's warmed up. Hope this can help solve your problem...
