you need to check to see if the fuel pump is operating. Listen back at the tank to see if you hear it cycle when you turn the key to the on position. If the pump kicks on, you need to check fuel pressure.

I checked the pressure and read 45 psi. But the pressure would not hold. Does it suppose to hold?

Yes, the pressure should hold. Take the vacuum hose off the fuel pressure regulator and see if it's wet with fuel. Crank the car over with the vacuum hose off. If there is fuel present in the vacuum line, or fuel comes out of the regulator with the line disconnected, the regulator is bad for sure.

Thanks for the input. I should have went with my first instinct, it turned out to be the timing belt. Took the cover off an there was no belt.
