I've changed my fuel pump and fuel filter, engine tries to fire seems to want to start, the service engine light is NOT on, any help would be greatly appreciated

Open inlet air duct by airfilter, spray in a shot of starting fluid while someone cranks engine. I it fires and runs a few turns, you are not getting fuel to the injectors. If these cars have a fuel service port (Schrader valve), borrow or buy a fuel pressure gauge, check for proper fuel pressure. Can you hear the pump turn on for a few seconds when you turn on the key? imp

I've got fuel to the Schrader valve, I don't have gauge (any ideas what the pressure should be) I can barrow one. Starting fluid gets it to hit a little bit, I'm leaning towards a sensor or something like that. Back story, car sat for 6 years I got it running, it ran good for about a week, then suddenly won't start.
I'm baffled?

How do I check if engine won't start, Please

Turn key and check when pump first kicks on?

If it ran for a week, it should be running now. Lemme research this awhile. imp

Thanks, I'm at a standstill, racking my brain

Any luck with getting a gauge? Even if you can't get it running, you should still get a reading when it primes.

Fuel pressure is good, starting to think it may be a timing issue, tries to start with occasional backfire, any thoughts. (Camshaft position sensor?)
