We did try starter fluid early on but it didn't seem to do any good. I wanted the first mechanic to pour a little fuel directly into the throttle body area but he never tried that. I know that when we turn on the key the punp delivers fuel to the throttle body area. but now I am questioning whether the oil pressure gauge is working and whether or not the fuel is so lean or being shut off by the system and not getting the AFM that it needs to combust. I have had issues earlier with the oil gauge being erratic?
Oil gauge won't have anything to do with it. The sender is probably going bad.
You're missing either fuel or spark. Are you saying you're not getting any fire at all? You said you have fuel to the TB but didn't say whether the injectors were delivering fuel to the intake. You also said you have spark. If you have spark, squirting starting fluid into the TB would cause it to fire. Maybe not run, but at least pop.
