Few basic things to check first:-

Check gearbox earth is connected properly.

Do you hear the fuel pump whir when you turn the key to accessories position? If you can't hear it, check that fuel pump connector is clean and tightly connected (under rear seat). If that checks out OK, then give the fuel pump a couple of twack when starting up (with small plank, soft mallet, hard fist or whatever but not with anyhing that will damage the pump).

make sure the white wire that connects to the starter is fitted as without this it will just click !
