Check spark first then fuel, is pump priming when you roll the key to run without the motor running? Do you have pressure in the lines, if you don't have these two things then there is no way it will start. Its probably ignition related, check you coil and block grounds as well. When was the last time it was running?

We can confirm that the battery and starter is good in the video.
Beyond that, you'll need to test the usual, fuel & spark. When you turn the ignition key to "run" without cranking, do you hear the fuel pump run for about two seconds?
And +1 on killing the capslock

Get a standard spark plug wire and an extra plug. Plug it onto the coil and then ground the plug on a header bolt and get someone to crank it. If the plug fires good and bright and almost a solid spark that means the coil is good.
If no spark then test the icm at autozone. It's more than likely gonna be coil, icm, or opti but may be some sort of burnt wire like I recently had. You can easily check all grounds and connections yourself.

TRy to push the pedal to the floor and see if it will start.
Also check to make sure you maf sensor, all injectors and other sensors are plugged in.
YOu will need to check fuel pressure, It definitely primes but you need to know if there is constant pressure.
