Check your Link fuse next to the battery. I read your other post. You tried to jump start the car many times. This can also kill the battery again. I recommend getting it load tested.

Another thing these cars tend to get flooded with multiple crank no starts. You can try some starting fluid to see if it helps get it going.

Default Fuse link

How do I check if the fuse link isn't good? Everything pointed to a bad fuel pressure sensor

I would recommend spraying some into the throttle body then put the intake pipe back on. Don't over do it.

The fuse link is next to the battery. Check if one of the copper terminal isn't busted open. It will be noticible if you shine some light on the fuse box itself. See the thread link in the previous post.
