I parked the car and when I tried to start it the following morning it wouldn't start. If you spray starter fluid into the air breather it will start but only until burns off. Obviously it is a fuel related issue. I've swapped out ignition coils and I can hear the fuel pump running. I was wondering what your thought were on it. I'm guessing that it could be the crank sensor, but I could be wrong.

spraying atarter fluid in intake eliminates ignition as the problem. first you should check fuel pressure, just because it comes on does not mean there is enough pressure. you need to check for injector pulse. do this by unplugging 1 fuel injector and run a test light across the 2 terminals and it should blink while cranking. get back to us.

I forgot to mention in the original post that I had checked the fuel pressure. When I put the pressure gauge it showed that it had more than enough pressure. I Don't remember if we checked injector pulse or not but I will do that today to be sure. I'll keep you updated. Thanks.
