Pull the fuel/ign fusible link out from the fusible link box in front of brake booster and crank away. Also leave fuel cap off. When you pull a fuel hose off, some will still spurt out. Just use plenty of towels. The engine will be cold so no fear of a fire. Can't advise on the non-start condition without more info. Start with an ECU diagnostic (tech article here) to determine where to look first. Most likely cuprits are Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) wiring plug is loose/corroded/dirty etc or PTU. STRONGLY suggest you identify/fix the non-starting cause BEFORE you start the plenum pull. Changing too many things at once can be hard to troubleshoot later on. Welcome aboard BTW!!! There is plenty of advice in the tech section and in this forum.
try quick fix/check change,clean spark plugs, had this happen on my 3yr+ non running Z until today, Fitted new plugs, 6 cylinders fine ross
Check / clean or replace all the electrical connectors under the bonnet before anything else especially the injector / coil / p.t.u and c.a.s connectors . It might be as simple as that before you start worring about anything major.Don't worry about the coolant hose / plenum pull until you get the motor running.
