did you check for spark or fuel pressure?

only need a few things for a running engine -

compression
spark
fuel pressure
ignition timing

...

by checking the spark you mean checking the spark plugs right? what do i look for when checking the spark plugs??

pull a sparkplug out and lay it on a shock tower bolt so the plug is grounded and crank the engine.

where would the crank sensor be located at? thanks

this may be obvious, but did you check the inertia switch? Has the car ran since the pump was replaced? Trying re-setting the inertia switch.

spray starting fluid in the intake. if it starts that means you have everything but fuel
