The first question you want to ask is if your problem is fuel or ignition (these are the 2 most common problems if you car won't start). If you are sure that your problem is fuel, then your best bet is gonna be to get a fuel pressure guage. This is the best way to check if your fuel system is working properly. If you have fuel pressure but your car still doesn't start, there is a problem with the fuel injection. If you don't have any fuel pressure, either the fuel pump isn't turning on, the fuel pump isn't pumping fuel, or there is a clog in the fuel system. A quick test to see if your fuel pump is getting power is to put a meter on the power wire to the fuel pump and ground and see if there is voltage. If there is voltage, then you are getting power to the fuel pump and it should be pumping fuel.
