When I started working on cars I mixed up the wires I knew they were right and they weren't.Recheck them a lot.Try squirting a little gas in the intake and if it starts you know your barking up the right tree.When my fuel pump in the tank quit the car got vapor lock on hot days.It sounds like maybe your having trouble with your hi pressure pump with ten pounds pressure.

Yesterday, i got the buzzing noise when i turned the key. As of this afternoon when i started working on it again, i'm getting no Buzzing sound to prove the fuel pump is NOT pressurizing :( im assuming this means it is faulty.

As far as the plugs, yeah i got them wrong the first 2 times, and have been checked at least 4 times since i feel as if those are correct. (From where the rotor is pointing, starts 1 and continues clockwise in firing order.)

*EDIT* anyone happen to know where the fuel pump is located? i feel like it's what i found under the drivers side of the car, but im not sure.

The high pressure fuel pump should be right behind the radius arm bracket. Inside the frame rail, its held in by 2 bolts.
This is what the pump will look like.



And this is where it should be.
