The Marelli/Texa scanners cover these.

They eat low-pressure pumps; but this doesn't sound like a typical case.  Maybe it's got a cracked injector and an injector leakoff test will show one with excessive leak-back.

Leak off test first,battery cranking volts second,crank angle sensor third.

robbie check the batt mate they sound as if there cranking fast enough but you realy do need a decent punchy batt with these
