fuel?

My car wont start........I check for spark and I do have that. I replaced the fuel pump about 3 months ago and it fired right up but I let it sit tell now and at first it started but ran really ruff and I wait a day to do anything and it wont start at all. Any ideas why I might not be getting any fuel or any ideas of where to start to solve my problem?

Whoa, I got lost there.
Replaced fuel pump 3 months ago, started it, ran ok?. Shut it down after only idling it, left it for 3 months.
Yesterday, you started it, it ran rough, shut it down, today it won't start at all?

How much gas is in the tank? How did you check the spark?
Got a can of starter fluid? Might get someone to crank it over while you spray starter fluid into the throttle body, get it to run for a few seconds, and then stop and see if it dies. If so, fuel related. if not, something else.

I started back up last week and it ran very ruff and liked to stall out. I look for spark at the distributor and I wasn't getting any yesterday so I replaced the ignition control module and I am getting plenty of spark. She still wont start so I figured I solve the spark problem now I think I am having a fuel problem. I wil try the starting fuel into the throttle body and see if that works and I will get back to you on the results!
