CAR WON"T START...HELP!!!

I have a 92 camaro...I went out to start it and it randomly wouldn't start it hasn't started in over a month..Replace wires, plugs, distributor cap, coil, starter and altenator is fine.ANY ideas on what would cause it to randomly stop starting. I have also tried to jump start it and that doesn't work either..Also it sounds like it wants to start but doesn't

check your fuel pressure at the rail, also do you hear your fuel pump priming?

when i purchased mine you could hear the pump prime but had no fuel pressure at the rail, turns out one of the hoses in the tank cracked and was just spitting gas back into the tank. might want to check the pressure

Try the ingnition module. That turned out to be the problem with my 87 with similar symptoms.
