We need more information, what does the engine do?
Does it crank over fine with the starter but just not start?
Have you verified that you have fuel pressure at the engine?
Have you verified that you have spark?

On the right side of the engine is a schrader valve (looks like a tire valve) with a cover on it, remove that cover and using a fuel pressure tester check for fuel pressure, attach the gauge, crank the engine over while a friend watches the gauge.
You need to be around 35psi. (2.4bar)
You can also cheat and use a dial tire pressure gauge.

Second remove one spark plug and lead wire, reattach the lead wire to the spark plug and lay it on the exhaust manifold (extractor) and have your friend try and start the engine, does the spark plug spark?

Please report back with what you find out.

Yes, only first day of problems, next day no. Accu charged.
>>Have you verified that you have fuel pressure at the engine?
No, but fuel pump is new.
>>Have you verified that you have spark?
Yes.

My engine cannot have this valve.

Yes, first day.
