As I was driving, just stopped. I checked the timing and the timing belt and they seem to be ok. The car tries but does not turn over. I have checked numerous sensors and am now at a loss. What else could it be?

Does the car have fuel pressure?

Yes, there is fuel pressure in the line (at the filter) and there was fuel in the line at the throttle body injector earlier but when I just checked the line at the throttle body injector was dry even after trying to start it a few times. Bad fuel pump? The relay on the fuel pump is good.

Replaced fuel pump, still no pressure at throttle body. Relay is good. Current is getting to fuel pump. At the end of my rope...don't know what else to try.

I am not sure if there is fuel pressure the pump is new have actually ordered a new fuel pressure regulator maybe that is the problem but I didn't know how to test the other so I have a new one ordered.

You need to check for fuel pressure first.
