It could also be a bad injector. I just did a job, where the #2 injector didn't squirt.

An easy way to check is pop up the fuel rail and injectors, have a sheet of paper under it, semi crank the engine, YOu will see the injectors squirt, paper with fuel on it is good injector no fuel on paper = bad.

Remember, cars are easy.

1. Fuel
2. Air
3. Spark

So you just have to eliminate one by one.

1. Fuel - Common: Pump, Injectors
2. Air- Common: IAAC valve , Vaccum, MAF
3. Spark- Common: DIstributor, Coil, Plugs and wires, (Ignition Timing)

These are most common entities that will tend to go out.
