Default 97 Cavalier 2.2 Base won't start

I had replaced the starter and alternator on the car. it ran for a day and shut off. When I do a KOEO, I can hear the pump prime, but when I crank it, it won't start. but it smells like gas. When I remove the fuel pump relay and try to crank it starts for about a second and dies (I'm guessing that it's using all the fuel dumped in the engine. I've replaced:
  • Fuel Pressure Regulator
  • Fuel injectors
  • Fuel pump Relay
  • ECM
I've also jumped the fuel pump relay and the pump runs.

Any Ideas??
