Default 1992 C4 cranks but doesn't start

Hi I have this 1992 C4
It cranks but won't start. The fuel pump and fuel pump relay were changed but nothing. It does start with starting fluid. I know they have optispark problems but it seems to be a fuel problem, I could very well be wrong. Any idea?

The best option here if you think its a fuel issue is to get a fuel pressure gauge. This will answer a lot of your questions and potentially save you time and money wasted barking up the wrong tree (I've been there, very recently in fact). It might be worth checking your fuel pressure sending unit, and replacing the fuel filter cant hurt. However, the gauge will make this process a lot simpler.
