Is it starting? Or are you just cranking the engine over and it never fires up?

There is no fuel pressure switch. He may mean the fuel pressure regulator. See pic below. Here is a link on testing for fuel pressure. http://www.askatech.com/askatechlive/aatfileshare/references/fasttrac k/ma014.pdf Will have to buy a fuel pressure gauge and attached it to the schrader valve to verify proper fuel pressure. Have you checked the fuses and relays? If getting pressure, you may have a bad neutral safety switch. Try starting in the N position. Also jiggle the shifter and see if it will fire up.

I just bought these car he was sitting for two years the card was starting and running but with some forwards feels like it was in getting enough gas he only does that after three minutes running so I replace the fuel filter water pump the spark plugs and a new battery and starts running better but still doing the same so I replaced the gas pump and I clean the gas tank add a fuel injector cleaner and new gas and that day was runner perfect stronger so I was like ok all done but next day doesn't want to start And now won't start no more what I could do next
