Always go to the basics and sounds like you're already trying those which is good. Fuel? Pull the cap off the end of the fuel rail and push on there with a rag and see if fuel shoots out. If so you have fuel. If you've already checked spark check the knock sensor in the back of the intake is also a common one to get disconnected or go out and cause a no start. Make sure the battery is healthy enough to keep the plugs firing enough to actually start the car. Make sure the main plug to the injectors I believe on the driverside is plugged in to assure you're powering the injectors. Check fuses to be sure non are blown to igntion/fuel systems. Hopefully these things will get you closer to a restart. Oh and maybe try disconnecting the battery and rehooking and try another key just to be sure its not computer related.

i think its the fuel pump itself cause you can hear the relay tinking likes its working when i turn the key to the on position. i pulled the cap off the fuel rail and pushed the button and no fuel at all. So would that be the fuel pump or could there be something else causing the rails not to get fuel. Also all fuses are good.
