Ignition control module? Bad grounds? Fuel pump relay? Bad compression? Timing chain or belt? Better start troubleshooting and stop throwing parts at it. This could get expensive in a hurry.
Does the starter crank the engine over? If so, check for spark on a spark plug wire when cranking. If you have a strong blue spark, ignition is probably good. Check fuel pressure. Do you hear the fuel pump turn on for 2 seconds when turning key to on?
If it is flooding,fuel is not the problem.Sorry you did a pump already.You need to check spark and air,I would start with spark.Check your plugs for spark.If they all spark normal,that also means the ignition coil is good.That leaves air.Check the filter and intake hose for leaks,holes,etc.I would guess spark,but you never know what you'll find.If you are not 100% sure how to check spark,sounds like you probably do though,just comment on this post and I get an auto email linked to here and tell you the best method.Good luck!

1. use scanner to find out if there's trouble code.
2.. it's not clear if the starter (motor) turns as you try to start the engine, if not, check starter motor including intermittent (maybe) problem with the ignition switch.
3.if starter motor turns everytime you try to start: check the electrical ignition system: coils & spark plugs
Try swapping out the fuel pump relay, if thats good try testing your ignition system components. Start with the module and coil pack. If they are ok check the crank position or cam position sensor (which ever applies).
Who changed the ignition switch an reprogrammed the key ?
I did.
