Do not pour fuel into the intake system.

Instead, remove the air filter cover and air filter.
Turn the ignition on.
Go back to the engine, and with the ingintion on, carefully lift the air sensor plate a little and listen to see if the injectors fire. If your fuel pump is working you will hear a definite buzzing sound when you lift the plate.
If you don't hear a buzzing sound when the plate is lifted, you don't have adequate fuel pressure to the injectors.
If you hear the buzzing sound, try and start the car.
If you hear the buzzing sound and the car still doesn't start, it is prolly ignition related.
I'd be willing to come over and take a look but today is not good, have a turkey in the oven and in-laws on their way over.

maybe tomorrow morning?
I'm not that good with ignition/electrical, but I'm OK with CIS.
