Wow, you need to do a basic test to start with. Determine if you have spark at the spark plugs, then check to see if you get fuel to the mixer. If both of these are present you need to check engine timing, might have a jumped timing belt.

"Unicarriers - it would have to be for a dual fuel unit also. Usually a bad cam or crankshaft sensor will throw a E-27 or a E-28 code on the dash panel... If it does not light up and the bulb is bad then it will not start also."
