96 Grand Am SE 2.4L Hard Starting Period

Ok, got the car in September of '07, it had 239,000 miles on it. First thing we did is replaced the boots, wires, both ignition coils, the adapter and the computer, well its been a year and a half, and now the car hates starting up, its a work car, now in other areas of the forum, I've seen the administrator say that the car is trying to warm up, well this is not the case, the car just refuses to start, but once i threaten it, she fires right up.

Now at first I thought it was the fuel pump, wrong, then I thought it was the mass air flow sensor wrong, then the O2 sensor, so on and so forth. The car now has more than 320,000 on her. It has been a great car, I have used it several times to go out of state for work and in some cases have driven from home over California on business

Is my car just finally dieing?

Nevermind guys, I had a feeling on this one. The Fuel Pump Relay is bad, so tomorrow I am going to fix during break.
