check your fuel filter and make sure the fuel is not leaking out. Check your fuel presure.
there is in and out fuel hose or pipe at the engine. Remove the input one, start the engine, check that fuel is coming to it(you need someone in this case, you might flood your engine with fuel). If positive, then check the out. If negetive, then your injector or anything that is mixing the fuel and air is not working.

OK if you have to jump it off then you have a battery problem if the battery is charged full then check you injectors you said you was getting fuel to them but nothing in the motor. make sure you have the right fuel pressher even though its new that don't mean it a good one if the fuel pressher is good then its in your injectors

sounds like its electrical, if you know its getting fuel, then check your wiring around the engine, and if nothing is loose then have it diagnotic checked(usually costs a few bucks) but that might be only way to find out. It could be a sensor and the diagnostic check will determine that.

Change your fuel filter and then perfom a pressure test.If you have elec, power to the pump and still have no pressure,buy another pump.New is only good if it works.
