You should check to see if the crankshaft sensor wires are connected correctly or at all. If they are , check that the cam sensor wires are conected and also make sure all your ground wires are corrosion free and tight. If the engine turns over but will not start check all fuses and make sure you have fuel (I know,but it happens) If it still won't start, hook up a timing light while a friend turns the key. If you get no flash could be a bad coil pack or coil connector could be corroded.

What is the best key of diatonic harmonica to harmonize with a DGBE tuned baritone ukulele?
I took this to a specialty board for stringed instruments and this is what was posted in response on the Baritone Ukulele thread:
Unfortunately, there exists no such animal. Each "Key" for a harmonica of any nature is relative to the key played by the instrument being accompanied, NOT THE TUNING OF THE INSTRUMENT.
For instance, key of G, straight harp would be a G harp. Cross harp in G would be played on a C harp (out of second position).
So, pick the key that you are going to play in and select the matching harmonica. Actually, you can obtain a pretty inexpensive set of multiple keyed harmonicas for a fairly low price.
