Help! Mustang wont start!

We cant seem to get much help here...Finally found a guy to loan us his fuel pressure gauge, will have to get a ride tomorrow to go pick it up. This is getting to be really stressful....

Got the mustang towed here to our apartment today... So sad looking at her just sit there.

Anyway, When we go to the parts store we are going to pick up a new selinoid and will get a new regulator too, we will go pick up the fuel pressure gauge and bring that home. I can't believe they wanted $40 for the gauge at the parts store, geez. Took us so long to find one to borrow. We will replace the selinoid first, then we will check the fuel pressure and I can post those results on here to see what you guys think, before we jump into replacing the fuel regulator or any other things like voltmeter testing.

So far we are still thinking this is a fuel problem, cycling the key a couple days ago as someone had suggested did not work. Of course we cant try it now cause the battery is unplugged to keep her from running (selinoid problem) So until we get this gauge we are stuck. Oh and we are fairly sure the pump is still good, held a stethascope to it and it is def working. Can hear it come on when we tried to crank the car. Like we said before we didnt see any fuel in the vacuum line, which confused us, because we thought for sure that it was the regulator and this would have proved it, I understand that would be a symptom of a bad regulator, but nothing .

I'll keep you all posted. Hope this selenoid is easy to change anyone have any tips? We don't really have the know how on replacing these parts. We are wingin it here....

Thanks again for all your help,
