She's dead.....1991 744t please help. 700 1991

I think my 744T got jealous of the work i was doing on the 944t. To make a long story short i she drove fine this weekend to chicago and back (~500 miles driving). But when I went to start her the next day she didnt start on the first try. She started after a few tries. So i'm like fine bad relays right? Well this morning she wouldnt start at all. So i decide to swap the relays with the ones out of my 93 944T. I swapped one in the engine compartment by the shock tower and all the ones in the console......still no start. i went and disconnected the turbo hose to the intake and sprayed starter fluid into her and she starts for a second

So i'm thinking fuel's the problem since the fluid worked....but all the relays i swapped are good (are there more than 1 in the engine compartment, or is there something else in there that i should check?)

When i turn the key i hear the fuel pump kick on and it stays on while turning the engine. But the wierd thing is its a little bit higher pitched than what i remember it sounding like (definitely higher pitched than my 944T).

I removed the bango bolt on the outlet of the fuel filter and gas came out so i assume the filter is fine/not clogged.....how do i definitively tell whats the problem. I wish there was a schrader valve to check pressure on the engine, but i'm not that lucky.

Sorry for the long response, but i'm in trouble. (and my 944T with a new manifold gasket decided she wants a new brake caliper/rotor that wont be here till friday.

Thanks
