If the crank sensors are not sending the correct signals to the ECM, the ECM is not going to allow the fuel pump to turn on.
You may want to hold off spending money on a fuel pressure adapter until you can verify that you are getting spark.

I can hear the fuel pump prime when I turn the car on.

 

Crank sensor will prevent the fuel pump from turning on, cam sensors will prevent the injectors from opening and the coil packs from firing.

 

I would also like to note that just before my car decided to stop starting, it started doing this thing where it would go in and out of power when under load, so for example, if I were to rev out the car in second gear from 4k rpm to 7k rpm, then the engine would do this thing where it sounded like I was cutting throttle every half a second or so, up until I hit 7k rpm. I haven't been able to find any info on this, so if any of you know anything about this, or think it may somehow be related, then I would love to hear about it.

 

Yep, sounds like a cam sensor failure.

 

Does having low fuel pressure cause the engine not to fire spark?

 

No, there is no fuel pressure sensors on the vehicle, it would just get less fuel which would result in a leak mix, be sensed by the upstream O2 sensors, and the ECU would attempt to compensate by increasing fuel trim.

 

So I went to test fuel pressure, and my fuel pump decided to quit priming. I also noticed that when I turn my key to accessory, I don't have a check engine light. From what I've heard, not having a check engine light when you turn the key to accessory means that your ECU is junk. There is a shop about 30 minutes away from my house that claims they can fix my ECU for $325.

 

Ok, so the car still isn't running. Here is an update on everything I have done to the car; I have tried scanning the ECU since the whole fuel pump deal, and it wont read that there is an ECU in the car. I have tried swapping the ECU from a different car, and that one didn't read either, so it appears that something in the car is causing the ECU to not read (I had a shop check both ECU's, and was told that both of them are good). My battery has charge, so it's not that. I bought a new IPDM, as I assumed that the IPDM had gone bad due to some pretty gnarly corrosion and holes punched in the box. Replacing the IPDM did not allow the ECU to read, so I am still at a loss as to what the problem is.

 

Don't bother reading and following the FSM as the vehicle most likely will probably never run again?

maybe the key

 

any update on the G?

 

The car is still not running.

 

Hmm, maybe. I suppose only a dealership would be able to program a key to my car?

 

i did a little research as well and found another owner had same problem you were describing and he had a spare key he had been using and the chip went bad, he switched back to factory key and car started right up with no further issues. hope that helps man. id try that one last thing and then make a decision
