Cranks great. Spark okay, fuel rail pressure okay, fuel injectors okay. Replaced ECU unit. Water coolant sensor okay.

I expected a better answer. The car does not start with starting fluid. Spark is good.

The starting fluid lets us know if the compression and ignition timing are good. Do you hear the fuel pump running in the tank for five seconds when the key is turned on and not cranking the engine?

The car ran fine, but after I stopped it, it would not start?

Okay, can you try starting fluid to see if it will run?
