Any ideas out there? About a week ago the car was hard to start & would idle rough on cold mornings. When car would start, the engine would feel as though there was no fuel when gas pedal was depressed, then could feather the RPM's to 2K and hold for 15-20 seconds and car would idle a little rough and then after being driven a block or two, the car would run normally. Engine has fuel pressure and spark, but will only turn over and will not even try to start. Check engine light is not on and OBD II reader shows no codes. Could the Idle Control Valve cause it not to start? Could it be the computer? Can get a used computer for $175. A sensor problem? Running out of ideas. Car went into ditch about a month ago and the bottom radiator support bracket was cracked. Could this have broken a vital wire? Any help would be appreciated.

Fuel pump.

but never threw a code (eventually, it threw lean condition in both banks). Turned out after I replaced fuel filter, I had installed the lines and pinched one. So, I'd check your fuel lines first to see if one pinched. Pull fuel filter and check those lines. It's cheaper than replacing pump. If not, it probably is your pump. I think mine cost about $165.

I thought mine was computer as well as it wasn't throwing codes. It was just my pinched line.
