As Turbo said, your EGR tube is clogged, but that has nothing to do with your no start condition. You need to troubleshoot. First check for any stored error codes again. If nome are present, you need to check for 3 things, Air, Fuel and Ignition. Let's say the air is a given, you need fuel and spark. Which one are you missing? We can guide you from there.

Yep ... sorry I zero'd in on the DTC and ignored the no start issue.

Apologies.

When you try to start the car, is the red Security led on solid?
