Ok. I was pulling off my street the other day, all the lights on the dash came on, the car shut off, and I rolled to a stop. The car wouldn''t start back up. Towed it back home, all few hundred feet uphill, and began searching for problems. The fuel pump is still turning on and off when it should. Checked the fuel pressure valve on the engine, and fuel is pumping. Spark plugs are sparking. Still not starting. We unplugged the oil line that runs to the carberator and sprayed some starter fluid in there and th e car started right up....but can`t stay running. So there seems to still be an issue of the fuel getting to the engine maybe? What else could be wrong? Thanks guys

Crank engine over do you hear the injectors clicking?

The computer has to get a ignition reference signal in order for it to tell the control module to fire the coils. If it is a TBI..I think you have a bad crank sensor. Sometimes, aftermarket sensor had a tab on the end of it that has to be filed off it or it will not seat properly. Hope it helps!
