The car will not start, It will turn over, I have checked the egr valve to make sure that it is not sticking. Have also checked to make sure that it has a SPARK. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT. Thanks Tom

If you have spark at the plugs, engine cranking, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Can you check for codes?

Thanks for your response, I have also checked to see if the car was getting fuel by disconecting the fuel line and trying to start to see if fuel comes out. None came so I am inclined to believe it is the fuel pump. Is their anything else I should check? Thanks Tom

Can you hear the pump run for a couple of seconds, key on, no crank? Check the circuits at the pump relay. If that checks out, check for good voltage and ground at the pump connector, engine cranking. If everything checks out, and no pump action, I suspect the pump. Don't forget the fuel filter.
