Answer
Eran, check for fuel and spark. Do you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail schrader port. Connect a gauge and you should get 45-50psi. Remove a spark plug and ground it on a solid gound and check for spark. Check fuse 53 in the Right rear of the trunk. If it is blown replace the fuel door actuator. You can tray spraying a coupe small quirts of Starter fluid or brake cleaner in an intake hose. If that doesn't work then try tapping on the idle valve.
