NO START

Good day, I have a 1999 SLK230 that wont start, I have checked the fuel pressure and spark and they are perfect. while cranking it will sound like it wants to start initially but then it will only crank. Does anyone have any ideas, also someone suggested that the K40 relay might be the cause? I am at a loss right now. HELP!!!
