    1) battery earth connected to body/block?, 2) do you get dash lights or headlights?, 3) fuseable link blown? Since you have swapped out two starters, unlikely its the starter I would say. 4) worn ignition switch? Stabbing in the dark a bit. 5) re-check cable integrity from battery to starter.

    Do you own an Auto ?.............. Dodgy inhibitor switch?
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    Best way to deal with a "Can't" is to chop off the "t" and brew it in boiled water for a few minutes.
    Sip on the "t", and consider what you've got left to work with

    Do you have fuel at the injectors? Squirt a bit of Start Ya Bastard into the Inlet Manifold (Only a few seconds worth of the spray, as you don't want a huge backfire.) If the engine runs for only a few seconds and stops, then fuel is the problem.

    Have fuel at injectors and sprayed some start ya bastard down it’s throat but still no luck seems to have spark so I’m all out of ideas

    If you have a good, strong spark, it will be a timing issue. Re-check all of the leads are in sequence and that the timing isn't retarded or advanced.

    Not sure if the Petrol Trols have a vacuumy thingo on the end of the fuel rail same as our paddock D20 Navara ute? Either way it has finally/instantly stopped dead after many years of faithful work and I too have blue spark & full fuel pressure to the rail
    Going to float it down to a petroleum mechanic next week as I’m out of ideas too!
    Can only assume it’s the vac system and or bloody aftermarket LPG electrical bullshart
