car wont start no fuel! HELP

I took my car out of storage after 2 years...........It wouldn't start and I figured out that it was the fuel pump. I replaced the fuel pump in may of 2006. After replacing the fuel pump it started right up and ran fine! I took the front end of my car off in august because I had gotten in an accident 2 years ago and I finally had time to fix it. I replaced everything on the front end and put everything back together. I went to start it and it start but ran really hard. I tried putting it into drive and it would stall right out. I checked for spark and I didn't have much so I replaced the ignition control module. I then got plenty of spark but she still wouldn't start. I then figured I didn't get any fuel. I check to see if the pump might be bad but just as I thought it was just fine. I check the filter and that is fine. I took the inlet and outlet fuel lines off to see if I was getting fuel and I was. I then check for fuel pressure and it was 40 psi with the engine off and the key turned on. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator. I put everything back together and it still wont start. I am very lost right now I have no idea where to turn to figure out what is wrong. I couldn't image all of my injectors are bad. I have spark at the distributor and at the plug. The plugs are brand new. I have no idea what could be wrong. Please help ASAP. I live in michigan and it is going to snow soon.

Just an idea, but you could have bad gas after sitting for 2 years.

Well 2 year old gas sitting on the bottom of the tank can't be good, have you checked the filter?

I have no problem getting the gas to the fuel rails but after that I am not getting anything......I replaced the filter already. I don't smell any gas even after cranking it for a while. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and that didn't work. The only thing I can think of now is to replace the fuel injectors please let me know if I can do anything before this.
