I havea question for you! You stated that it has fuel pressure and you also stated that you put a shot into the throttle is this the way you checked the pressure? If not and your possitive that it has pressure, check the fuel pressure for proper specs.

If your not sure check the fuel pump, it sounds like it may possibly gone out.

Whlie someone turns the key to the on position put your ear close to the filler door, the hatch were you refill the car with gas. Make sure its open and listen for a short humming sound if you here it the pump is spinning if not is out. But if the pump is working it does not mean well.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
