Default car wont start

i have an 89 camaro rs w/ a 305 tbi, about a month ago when i went to start the car nothing happened, so i got a jump and the car ran fine, about a 3 weeks later it does the same thing, when i go to start it nothing(no clicks or anything), so i had the battery tested, the igition module tested, the coil tested, all good, i also replaced the starter, the starter switch, the neutral safety switch. still nothing, so i ended up bypassing the starter w/ a horn button, now it will turn over, but it wont start. i tried putting some gas in the tb and it cranks but then dies, ive tested all the wires for volts, all good. ive checked for gas flow its good and strong, i also cleaned out the injectors good, the last thing i can think of is the ecm, but id like some info first because its expensive, and i dont feel like putting much money into the 305 because im getting a 350 crate soon. thanks for any help!

Now, don't jump down my throat, but, is there oil in the car?

My friend thought he had his Saturn all figured out until about 3 o clock in the morning coming out of a date when he said, "uhhh....Car won't start."

It was lunched, btw. No oil.

Does the car have VATS? If it does, it sounds like a VATS problem, no cranking & no fuel delivery. Look down into the injector while cranking & see if fuel is being sprayed.

no it doesnt, ive already thought of that, what do you think of it being the ecm, since that is what sends for a pulse of gas every crankshaft rotation, i tried today to get a fuel pressure reading but it wouldnt fit, another thing is the injectors, not sure
