I have changed fuel pump last one went out. Changed fuel filter thought it could be clogged. Still isn't wanting to start turns over but isn't starting. Before all this we changed the oil and service engine light came on along with my oil pressure gauge bounced around after 25 minutes of running.

Good evening,

Can you hear the fuel pump run with the key on?

Can you check the actual fuel pressure?

Did you check for spark?

One of them is our issue and needs to be checked.
