If you keep quoting yourself, nobody's going to answer you lol.....
If your battery is good, meaning passes a load test and fully charged, I'd start looking at the cables and connections. When my car had similar problems, it turned out to be a bad ground connection. The neg. cable to the block connection was loose and corroded. Gave it a good cleaning down to bare metal, and all problems disappeared.

You sure like that "Quote" option lol.
Trace the negative cable off the battery, it should bolt to the engine block. Make sure that connection is clean, metal on metal, and tight. Also look at your cables for cuts or burns that allow moisture in and cause internal corrosion.
I'm not saying this is the fix, but start with the easy, usually overlooked things first before throwing money at it.
Good luck

So I found my ground and that seemed to be the problem but now I'm not getting any fuel pressure my fuse to the fuel pump is good I read somewhere that there is a fuel cut off in case of an accident that may have been tripped any ideas on where it's at?

So I think I found it the little modual with the red button? Is it supposed to be up or down? I tried starting it in both positions and it dosent sound like the pump is priming all I can hear is like a quick glug glug when I turn ignition right before start position then it just cranks and cranks and cranks no start before i had these problems with the ground cable I never had any problems with getting fuel any other ideas? I'm really at a loss now as I said I've checked all fuses and none seem to be bad. Could the pump have gone bad just sitting?

Ok, good. Sorry to hear that didn't fix it, but you're definitely making progress! Gotta have a healthy starter circuit.
At this point, what I would do is squirt some starting fluid in the intake and see if it will start and run for a second or two on that. If so, you definitely have a fuel delivery issue.
