Car was running fine until one day the engine just died. Thought might be from the heavy rain that day. Seems like a fuel problem. Pump works, filter is fine. All 4 plugs spark.

If its cranking over and refusing to start -do below to determine what's missing fuel or spark

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time
