1995 Mitsubishi Mirage 101000 miles

I have a 95 Mitsubishi Mirage that I just bought yesterday that test drove fine but when I got it home I couldnt get it started again. It has gas, timing belt is in place and I can hear the fuel pump go after I let go of the key. The engine will turn but wont fire. I didnt drive it home from the lot, I had a tow truck to bring it to my house.

Check the fuel pressure with a gauge and also for injection pulses-if okay check for spark

How do I check fuel pressure? This will be my first time doing it.

You need a fuel pressure tester designed for your fuel system If there's no test port, remove the fuel filter and check it there.
