Answer
Have the tech test to see if the fuel pumps are getting power when the engine is being cranked
He says that the fuel pressure was good.
Does it have spark?
Yes it does have spark. I have been doing alot of research on this and I found a fella that has the exact same problem.
It was his fuel pump relay. He took it apart and resoldered the wire connections on the curcuit board. Even though it is getting fuel, could it be this relay?
Also his clock quit working at the same time. Mine quit working as well a few days before the car wouldn't start at all. Actually it would work intermitenly. The relay in my car was replaced last summer because of this problem and it fixed it. Is it possible for this relay to fail two summers in a row?
THanks for your time, Melissa
Help desperate!! I have taken car to different mechanic. I am paniced!! Would the coolant temp sensor prohibit the car from starting? How can I test the crank positioning sensor?

Turns out it was the fuel pump relay. I took it apart and resoldered the curcuit board and it has started ever since. Thanks for your help.
