The starter is not the issue if it turns over. That would mean the starter solenoid is being energized, and the gear is meshing with the flywheel.

You can check fuel pressure with an in-line gauge. The fuel pump can also be forced to run whenever the key is 'ON' if the yellow 2-wire test connector on the passenger strut tower is jumped. Fuel pump voltage can be tested at the pump harness.
