Hello, I've spent the last couple days going through past threads and have found a couple leads but haven't really found an answer to my problem.

I've got a 97 2.0L Contour GL with ~75k miles on it and a manual tranny. Its been sitting in the driveway for about 2 weeks while I drove my other car. I went to drive it the other day and it refuses to start. It cranks over great but refuses to catch. I've tried it with and without pumping the gas. All connections look good and solid. Right after trying it and pumping the gas to where it'd seem to be flooded I pulled the plugs and they are dry as a bone. This would seem to me to be a fuel delivery related problem, or am I on the wrong track?

Its kinda sitting on the grass in a place where I can't easily get under it on a slight hill and because of the recent storms here the ground is too soft to both push it onto the driveway or try to lift it. I'm thinking I need to get to the fuel filter and possibly the pump but is there anything else I can try in the meantime?
