Need a wider shot. Maybe coolant temp sensor. Rent a fuel pressure gauge and see if you have fuel pressure when it turns over.

I think that's for your missing EGR solenoid. Probably not related to your problem. Check for spark, fuel pressure, and injector pulses.

thanks my fuse box is ticking also and my battery is drained as well.
