This car has been running great, it was not used the past week and when I went to start it it would not start. There is fuel in the fuel rail and the fuel pump comes on when I turn the key. Could it be the ignition Coil?

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

You say it is getting fuel to the engine, so how about checking for spark now. Is there spark at the plug wires? If so, make sure the spark is bright blue (not dull orange). If not, then it could be a faulty coil pack.
