Do below:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? No spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

HI THANKS FOR YOUR RAPID RESPONSE. I BROKE THE WIRE TO MY IGNITION COIL TRYING TO CHECK FOR A SPARK. HOW DO I FIX IT? AND THERE IS NO SPARK TO MY SPARK PLUGS. WHAT DOES THE RELATION TO THE IGNITION COIL HAVE TO DO WITH THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN MY CAR USE TO START I WOULD HEAR A NOISE PRIOR TO STARTING BUT NOW I DON'T HEAR THAT NOISE.

That noise you would hear would be your fuel pump turning on and priming before your engine starts, sending the fuel to the fuel rail and injectors, thats your biggest problem right there, and a good idea is to replace the wire that you broke, it should fix your problem, fuel pump could cost you a couple hundred, but when its fixed it will save you in the long run
