My fuel pump does not want to start when I turn the ignition. I checked the fuses and all is fine. I had a new remote made a month ago could it be that?

Yes, it is electrical alright. But probably not due to the fuel pump, I would bet the pump won't turn on as long as the dash won't, cause the ignition system is not on. It's probably either a blown fuse for the ignition or a bad ignition switch. So check all your underhood fuses.
if you have been having problems since the shop had it I would take it back so they can go over everything they might have touched.. Also GM fuel pumps for from 97 to 2002 are known to have the symptoms your describing before failing completely. Only way to know is when it does not start try spraying some quick start or brake cleaner to see if it will start. Or have a pressure gauge hooked up. When you say it has fuel presuure that means nothing if you can't verify it has the proper pressure.
If it still doesnt start when you spray then you will know its ignition related and not fuel related. Try rotating the relays for the fuel pump with the ABS and any PCM sounding one with the horn. Also inspect fuses for hairline cracks that may open when hot. Rotate the logical ones there also.
The crank sensor and the coil could have been tested before you replaced it but since you did already one other option is if you have a cam sensor it also can causea no start. If you know how to use a meter test components before replacing. Go to youtube. Alot of hands on tutorials. Or do a searh on how to test a componant.
Check in the black power box under the hood. Pull cover off and there is a diagram explaining what is what. Check the ignition fuse and fuel pump relay.
When you turn the ignition to on you should here the fuel pump run. If you aren't hearing it then it sure sounds like the pump. Assuming nothing has happened to the car to affect electrical connections. I don't think there is a fuse for the pump but worth checking also.
make sure there is gas in tank. turn ignition switch to the on position.listen for fuel pump.if yes check for spark at plugs.if no you dont hear fuel pump.check fuse and relay.if both dont work.scan it to check for faulty crankshaft sensor fuel pump and pcm.
no fuel issue. check fuse for fuel pump check fuel pump fuel pump relay fuel filter could be pluged.if you turn engine over acouple turns and stop you should hear fuel pump buzz.also check wires at ignition coil for corrostion or broken fuel pump relay gets its singnal for negitive side of coil.
