Check the fuel pressure.

Can you here the pump run for 2 seconds when you turn the key to ON. Maybe the pump is dying or there might be a flow restriction.


Are you getting a good 1/2 inch spark right spark when sparked to ground?

Do you have a can of starting fluid? Have you tried it? Have you ruled out the injectors? If not, check them with an ohmmeter.

fuel pump is new and I can hear it run when I turn the key on. I will try the starting fluid next, then I will check fuel pressure and the injectors next. Thank you for the help.
