^x2. if the car runs with starting fluid being sprayed in it then its a fuel problem. make sure u have power at the pump when you switch the key to on.if no power to fuel pump check fuel pump electrical circuit.
fuel pump has power? make sure u have pressure at the fuel rail. if no pressure at rail bad fuel pump or restricted fuel filter.
pressure at the rail? make sure the injectors are pulsing with a noid light. if no injector pulse bad crank sensor or ecu.

am i forgetting anything guys? its been a long day...

It could be almost anything start with the basics. Pull out your spark plugs leave em on top of the motor look see if the plugs are sparking. Make sure the spark isint going throu the wire and grounding on the motor. Do you have a cel code if so find out what it is. Have you battery tested and altenator at auto zone or something its free at some autoparts stores check to make sure the connections are tight on battery Check your 2 main grounds on the motor make sure there tight. Check the ecu ground wire its on your thermostat housing. Look around for broken or loose cinnectors. poat on hear if you hVe foundanything. when you turn your key to on in the main relay and sould hear the hum of the fuel pump in the back you can and unscrew the top of your

Check ur iavc sensor , is it idle low ?

There should be 2 clicks in the main relay you can unscrew the top of the fuel filter the one that gose to the motor turn it over see if fuel sprays out a lot dose on mine. Check your fuses for broken blown loose or rusted.
