If it'll only start on starting fluid then you're not getting fuel. Check for pressure at the rail and go over everything you just did.

What computer do you have in the car? I my 2.3T stang I had the same problem comes to find out that the computer was shot. Make sure that the fuel pump relay is clicking.(Should be under driver seat)
