My car will not start. It is not the battery. The battery is less than a year old. The terminals are clean and its getting a good connection. There is gas in the vehicle. You can hear the fuel pump when you try to start the car. I replaced the engine 2 years ago. I replaced the fuel pump a year and a half ago. Replaced the starter, the ignition coil and the idler pulley within the last year. Fluids are full or near full, though my last oil change was in March of 2010.

Do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark issue:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
