Welcome to the forum

Fuel injection can't do vapor lock so that's not it, its an electrical issue of some sort

Cycle key on and off 3 times
Then try to start

Get a can of Quick Start(ether)
When you have a Crank/no start pull off a vacuum hose from intake and spray some in, put hose back
Try to start
If it fires/starts then you have a fuel delivery issue
No start, then its a Spark issue
Called 50/50 test

Watch the CEL(check engine light)
It should come on with key on, that means the Computer has powered up
It should go OFF when engine is cranking/turning, that means computer is getting a good Timing Signal from Crank sensor
