What do you mean exactly wont start..you mean it will try to, but just wont turn over? Or do you mean it just clicks and doesnt even try to. IM guessing it will try to, since spraying in starter fluid helps....jes wannna make sure.

Get a fuel pressure gauge from AutoZone or some other place and get the fuel pressure at the fuel rail tested. See how it behaves when you try to start it.
Sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me.
