Have you checked fuel-supply pump and fuel pressure?

i did take off the fuel line from the filter to the motor and there was
fuel pouring out when the key was turned on but the actual fuel
pressure hasn't been checked how do i go about doing that?

The correct way is to use a pressure manometer for check of fuel pressure.

In this case maybe a problem of ignition yet.

Ralf what problem in the ignition are you referring to and how do i go
about checking that problem i will get the manometer and check the fuel
pressure.  What should the fuel pressure reading be? so that i know if
i am getting the proper pressure?. In advance i would like to thank you
for all of your help thus far.

Depending from type of pump they are using in this vehicular.
I would you recommend to read a shop manual for this car.
They have some procedures to check some devices like ignition, complete fuel
supply. etc. and to inform about parameters.

Now when it will not start, what happens when you spray starter fluid?
If it runs on the starter fluid then it is in the fuel system. Check to
see that the pump is ok, fuel pressure is ok and the injector is getting
a signal to open.

it won't run off starter fluid now either! and i have not checked the
fuel pressure how do i go about doing that? and if it is the fuel pump
how expensive and hard is that going to be to fix is that something
that i could do myself?

If it does not fire or run on starter fluid I would check that it has
spark and at the right time. Pull a spark plug wire crank engine and
check for spark.

do you think it could be the timing even know that it was running just
before all this started could it be that the fuel pump just quit?
