Default No start now I'm stuck?

Well I'm stumped I replaced the IGNITION COIL and the IGNITION CONTROL MODULE and still just cranks but won't start I DON'T GET IT why?
I did the fuel pump test everything is good on that end in fact without a fuel pressure gauge it still shoots into the rafters of the garage
I am at a loss for words and just for arguments sake I had the 🔋 load tested at 4 different places and it passed at all 4
So what is it why won't it start I have never had this happened to me before I'm stuck what should I do

lol well that is funny I have not started it myself (hectic work schedule) but my wife said she got it started and took it to the post office drop off then back home. But as for me NO but the odometer backs her up
I had a tech go over to my house and double check my work but he couldn't get it started
So as you see I'm stuck if I can't get it started myself I have to trailer it and that is a all around hassle I for one don't need

As you well Know that no matter how complex are cars are the Operation boils down to the basic Suck Squish, Boom, Blow. You say you have Fuel pressure, but is it Gas or Gassy Water I heard a reference to possible being exposed to above normal weather either from direct rain or from a wet gas station?

Are the injectors Pulsing? Injector, ECM or Ignition Fuses Good. is there spark down by the plugs (old plug in boot test) leaning on Exhaust

I think 1 bad injector can cause all of them to stop working, can the injectors be heard or felt to be clicking?

Shoot some fluid in the intake and see if it fires if so you know it is fuel related.
