I am lost at this point, and am hoping for some help. The only other thing that comes to mind, as it seems to have been harder to start over the last few month's. It is also not outside temp issue...it was 70 degrees that day and car had set for 8 hours at work when it started the last time. The car never got up to operating temp. thanks

Since you have spark, it sounds like your fuel pumps aren't operating. Did you pull a spark plug to see if it's wet with fuel? Also, before you go putting money into parts check the vacuum hoses, especially the ones going to and from the Idle Control Valve. They have to be securely connected for the engine to run.
When you turn the ignition on you should hear the fuel pumps operate for a second or two. If your Fuel Pump Relay is defective, you can remove the fuel pump relay and put a jumper across pins 7 & 8 and the fuel pumps should operate and the engine should start.
