Welcome to the forum!

What is the 8th character of the VIN in the windshield?

The first thing I would check is the fuel pressure. This is especially true if you can dribble some fuel down into the throttle body and get it to start.

Do you have good blue, not orange, spark at every spark plug?

As Kyle mentioned, you might want to check fuel pressure and leakdown. Key ON, engine OFF, fuel pump running: Pressure must be 60psi to 66psi and must remain above 50psi for 10 minutes after the pump shuts off.
