1997 z28 Camaro cranks n cranks no start!!

So I was driving down the street and out of no where my 1997 z28 Camaro just dies since then can't get it to start back it'll just crank and sound like it wants to fire up but won't. I changed all the plugs and wires and getting spark I also changed the ICM and fuel pump today and still can't get it to start all of the fuses in the fuse box are good is there a fuse to the fuel pump somewhere else? The fuel pump relay is getting power also it's driving me crazy I can't figure it out help!!!!

1 - Do you hear the fuel pump prime with key-on/engine-off? If you do hear it, then the fuel pump fuses are good, and the pump is being powered.

2 - Have you checked the fuel pressure at the Schrader value? Pressure should be 41-47 psi, and it should hold.

3 - Doss the security light stay on, or flash after the initial self test (approx. 2-3 secs)?

Where did you check for spark - at the plugs or at the coil wire?

Have you scanned it for codes?

As mentioned above, did you check the fuel pressure, particularly before replacing the pump?
