My engine will crank over but will not start. When you turn the key to the on position and you can hear the fuel pump start up. I also checked the valve on the fuel track and gas will come out when pushed. I am also getting fire when I checked the number 1 plug. What can I try next?

Hi tport, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Since you can hear the fuel pump come On-check the fuel pressure if its within specs and also check if the injectors are pulsing

At idle the fuel pressure should be 44-54psi and for the injector listen to it if its clicking or use a noid lite on the harness if its flashing the injector driver is working but not the injector-defective-
