without further information it could be a number of things. bad timing would allow it to crank but not run, just like misplaced spark plug wires. you said you replaced the fuel pump, could it be you don't have enough ( if any ) fuel pressure. how does it crank, if its sluggish then your battery isn't powerful enough. like i said without more info it could be anything. i'm just waving my stick
