As I was driving, just stopped. I checked the timing and the timing belt and they seem to be ok. The car tries but does not turn over. I have checked numerous sensors and am now at a loss. What else could it be?

Yes, there is fuel pressure in the line (at the filter) and there was fuel in the line at the throttle body injector earlier but when I just checked the line at the throttle body injector was dry even after trying to start it a few times. Bad fuel pump? The relay on the fuel pump is good.
