What exactly happens when you turn the key? Does it crank and crank but just not start? Does it not do anything at all? Does it just go *click*?

When it does start after not starting, is your service engine soon light on?

Be a little more specific, please. Also please note any intake/engine/exhaust/electrical mods you have.

Check for spark and check for fuel, then go from there.

That sounds like a good starting point, especially considering your aftermarket fuel pump.

That wouldn't explain to no starting after car is warm, I would be suspicious of spark plugs and fuel pump
