Hi there I will do all I can to help. Do you have access to a scanner?
What you need to do is check for spark and for fuel, because you said that you installed a fuel pump, then we could assumne that the fuel is getting there, check if you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to the on position.
TO check for spark remove one of the sparkplug wires and connect a sprakplug to it and ground the sprakplug, next have someone turn over the vehicle, you should see the sparkplug sparking.

I dont think the starting fluid will make it work, if the fuel pump is working and there is spark it should at least attempt to fire. can your scanner read live data?
