When I attempted to start, I don't hear the fuel pump. It cranks, but it won't start. I have gas in my tank and the fuel pump has recently been replaced, and so has the fuel pump relay and ECM.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Here is a really simple test. See if the engine starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then it is a fuel related issue. If it doesn't, then it is ignition.

Do that first. Here are links that you may find helpful:

Here are links to check for spark and fuel:

Also, check to make sure fuse L8 in the under-hood fuse box is good. See attached picture.

Do this and let me know what happens.

Take care,
Joe
