Need help ASAP - Military daily driver

Cliff notes :
Drove the car 1000 miles to my new duty station here in Kansas with no problems.

Had it tuned for e85 and 93 a week before the drive, tscompusa great tune.

Got to kansas and realized they only have 91...

Turned boost down and watched for knock on the 93 tune until there was 0 counts (24lbs)

drove fine for a few days..

Today i go out to get to formation at 5am and the car turns to on and has full power but will not crank over... I hear the fuel pump whining like it wants to start working like it always does but nothing...

It's either not getting Spark or Fuel and I have no idea/ Tools to do it since i just moved.

Could it be the switch to 91 fuel and something with Ecuflash and the tune or possibly ignition/ coils I cannot even test the spark plugs for spark because I dont have a removal socket right now... Any ideas evoM?

Starter?

theres a little plug that goes into your starter. Check under your car, front middleish area. Wiggle and push on it.

let us know
