Try to rework your message into something less contradictory and more
coherent.
You at once have the MIL illuminated and it not. There is only ONE igniter.
You have spark and fuel but no fire. Your post does not make any sense.

Did it die while moving, or just not start one Monday morning? If
Monday, hold the pedal to the floor and crank it for up to 15 seconds at
a time (this is in the owner's manual under flooded engine) and if it
starts, clean your (dribbling) injector with some Techron.

Sorry, just one igniter, and I changed it
it stalled while I was driving and it won't start again,
What could go wrong to prevent fuel from going from the intake to the
engine, like I said, tried to drop some gas straight into the intake
I've checked the main relay,

I presume you know that it isn't the relay going 'click' but rather but
the solder joint on one of the mounting legs that goes bad and breaks
the connection. However, if your pump is running and delivering pressure
then the other thing you haven't repoted on is the fuel filter on the
engine
bulkhead.
If you take a sparkplug out is it damp with fuel or soaked?

I broke the line after the filter and I have gas with pressure, but my
spark plugs are dry
what is preventing gas of going into the engine, I tried pouring gas
straight into the intake, and nothing happened

It's my guess that the injectors may be clogged up. I am just guessing.
You should consider buying a repair manual from a auto store such as
NAPA. There may be instuctions on how to remove and clean the injectors.
I have never done it since I use fuel injector cleaner about once every
two months to keep them cleaned out. You may have "dirty" gas or gas that
has water in it. If so, you will continue to have problems until that tank
of gas is used. Don't ever buy gas at that station again.
Have you determined whether or not your timing belt is working correctly.
If the timing belt broke or is stripped, you will not be able to start
your engine.
