Rookie

Car stalled when idling in the driveway, was unable to get the car to restart. The following things have been checked out:

*New plugs, good spark from coil pack

*New fuel filter

*Fuel pump runs and pushes appreciable volume of fuel through filter (checked by turning key on and running gas into an open container)

*Tried cranking the engine w/ spark wires disconnected and immediately pulled spark plug to check if plug was wetted with fuel. It was not (possible that no fuel is getting to piston?)

*Tried replacing fuel pressure regulator, that had no effect.

Thanks in advance!
