Just like any car....5 things to check for a good running engine

1) F make sure the "fuel is good & has adequate pressure.
2) I make sure that you have a strong "ignition" spark.
3)V make sure while cranking that the engine develops "vacuum"
4)E make sure that "electrically" that the computer allows for fuel mixture changes.
5)M make sure that the engine has compression & is in good "mechanical" condition.

Those are the 5 (fivem) item to check
