2004 3.8l turns over but will not start

Looking for some help I have a 2004 3.8l and it turns over but will not start replaced the Fuel rail pressure sensor, cam shaft sensor, not getting fuel into the rails, have spark just not pushing fuel, think it is the fuel pump but just want to see if anyone can give me any insight on what I might have missed. Thanks in advance

Just wondered if you were able to start your car? I'm having problems starting mine now. Been sitting in garage for about a year. Changed plugs, fuel filter, and sprayed starting fluid in throttle. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

#1 it does sound like a bad fuel pump. Do agoogle search for fuel pump reset switch for you car. I don't know if you have one but its worth trying to reset if you do have one.

#2 Open the gas cap and take a wiff of your fuel. if if doesn't smell like gas anymore you may need to get it out of there. How much gas is in it right now?

Welcome to the forum both you guys.

Will start the car then you know it's the fuel pump.
