when the flywheel starts to rotate as when starting, enough electrical power has to be generated to turn on the EMM (engine computer), start the fuel pump, and deliver the fuel and spark at the right time. The crankshaft position sensor (CPS) tells the EMM that the flywheel is turning.
The best way to troubleshoot the problem is have your dealer start it up cold, while his laptop is connected and monitored for the correct outputs for the sequence of events. Fuel pressure should also be monitored. Another thing to check is if the starter and electrical system are cranking the motor over fast enough.
