Just wanting some advice for going over things when a car sits for about a month and does not run, what are the first things i should look for?

I can hear the starter kicking the motor over but no bang, I got it to start with some starter fluid about 2 weeks ago and drove it around the block. Now nothing....

I will try checking the crank sensor.

Don't use starting fluid on a EFI engine... It even says it on the can, Not to mention it can pool up in the intake and ignite in there and turn the intake manifold into a bomb and explode.

Put a good battery in the car and try again, these things don't like to start with low voltage.

You obviously have spark, check to make sure your fuel pump is working... Hook up a fuel pressure gauge.

^^^ I agree, you should be able to hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key on. It should only run for about 2 seconds then it will run continuously after the car is started.

I have fuel i can hear the pump. The battery must have been really gone because i even hooked up to a charger and then later with a jump from another car it didn't turn. So i went and got another battery and everything is fine. Thanks everyone for your input.
