Went to start up car. It turns over but does not seem to be getting any fuel. I changed both the pump and filter. Still not starting. Will start when starter fluid is sprayed into it but will not stay running

Check to see if you have any power and a good ground to the fuel pump. You can check power with a basic test light and go from there. It could be a few different things, ie, bad fuel pump relay, wiring, fuse etc.
