Did you try to unplug the ICP sensor. It will put the computer into default and if it starts then it means that you have a biased sensor. If it still doesn't start then maybe the pressure regulator is bad.

you need a good scaner so you can see what is going on this is not some easy fix, I think you will find a code like p1670 or P1678 like the EF signal is lost or the PCM is not communicating with the IDM.

are you sure its getting fuel?
checked the filter housing? is it full?
are you sure your tank has fuel?
do you have a chip?
are you batteries fully charged?
tried pulling the vc's off yet to see what you got?
