RE: wont start.. ugh
Your car needs air fuel and spark to fire. If the fuel pump is priming, that's not the problem. Check your ignition fuse.. it might be blown. Did you try giving it a little throttle while it was turning over? Then check spark plugs.. no spark = no run. Worn out plugs = barely starts, runs like ****.

If it has spark then put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail and check pressure if there's a blockage somewhere pressure will be slow to build if at all even though you hear the pump run doesn't mean all is well with the fuel system check the regulator... pull the vaccum line make sure no leaks are there and check for injector pulse with a noid light

i hate it when my stuff gets rephrased and posted as new.... although you did add to it and not just rework it
