The car turns over and there is a rumble like it wants to start but doesn't. It's been 8 years since it last ran. I have fuel pressure and I've done what I can with the MAF translator. Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
See if it will fire with starter fluid.

-if it doesn't check for spark. if you have a good spark, check compression.

-if it does and the fuel pressure is within spec, the injectors are probably clogged.

Or injectors aren't firing
 
Try to run in on starting fluid. If it runs test for injector pulse with noid lights. If it dont you can still test the pulse but I would check for spark with spark tester. If that is cool then check compression. If it is not cool then you need to test the Coil and or PTU. If compression is low check timing.
