My car won't start. It turns over but it just doesn't fire! It has spark, and will start when using ether but dies quickly due to lack of gas getting to the injectors. It has a new fuel pump and a new pressure regulator but the gas doesn't seem to move out of the tank. What could be wrong?

Have you checked it with a fuel pressure gauge? This way you can see if the fuel rail has pressure. If it has pressure at the rail you may have an injector pulse issue. If no pressure at the rail. You may need to check volatage to pump or pump itself.

Yeah its been checked. We unhooked the line running directly out of the pump and its still not putting anything out. And the pump is brand new!

Hve you tried jumping the fuel pump relay? Use a fused jumper and jump terminal 30 and 87 and see if you fuel pressure.
