    use a fuel pressure gauge to see if you have any pressure and try disconnecting your fuel line where it connects to your fuel regulator and turn your key on to see if there is any fuel, make sure you have something to hold your fuel incase there is fuel coming out of the fuel line. if there is fuel, mean there is no clog and check your injectors.

    how much fuel is in the car?

    it's possible the clamps on the hose connected to the fuel pump inside the tank have loosened up and it is sucking air into the line when the fuel level gets below the pump.

    agreed with the fuel pump clamps, agreed with the Thermostat housing ground.

    check to see the spark on the spark plugs, if it is a blue or white then it is good, if you get a yellowish color then it is spark related even though you have spark.
    you have checked your main relay, and replaced the fuel pump. try to see if you are getting fuel to the filter and through the filter.

    you may need to take an air hose and blow your lines out (remove the fuel filter and cover engine end with a rag and a zip tie). use a white cloth to see the particulate that comes through the line.
