If you get no sputter then its a spark problem. Unless you have other ignition related codes, suspect the cps.

I had no CEL with a dead FP. Just dead car. Perfect advise to check spark and rule that out.

Don't throw parts at it. Diagnose it. Where are you at in the process?

Took relay out and jumped spiral 30 and 87 at the box. Turned ignition on and checked for pressure on the fuel rail no pressure. Checked slot 30 at the box for power and there was power. Determined the FP was getting power and not running. Sounds like bad FP no? AM I premature in the diagnosis?
