My 2000 mustang has about 120,000 miles on it. 3.8L engine. Wasn't driven a lot for about two months, but no problems when it was. After being driven for 2 days, car would not start. Added water remover to gas tank. Changed fuel filter, fuel pump and plugs. Checked relay....car still won't start. Any advice?

Disconnect a sparkplug wire and ground it to the engine while cranking it over-do you have spark and injector pulse?

Next step you need to check the actual fuel pressure by using a fuel pressure gauge calibrated for your system and report back them readings before we continue to the next phase. We got 5 phases to go.
