After my long trip clutch fails and now wont start?

Im going to try to keep this short
I was coming back from a drive from chicago. The car drove perfect all the way there and back until i made it to a town 30mins outside of mine. I was a light and i put and first a drive normally and a loud sound comes from the tranny and it just revs freely, i tried different gears and the car just reved like the disk broke or something. So i pushed it to the nearest parking lot in the middle of traffic WTF!
So i called the towing company flat bed of couse the told me they would have to pull to a bigger parking lot which was like 5 miles away. so i sit in my car with the fmic off car in netural with it on and he pulled me there. I made it to my house about 3hrs later. The next day the car wont start UGH. So i push it into my carport and put it on jackstands. a week later i dropped the tranny and pulled the clutch. The disk was cracked and a ring that came from the Pressure plate just fell out. So i replace all of it with a new clutch. I checked everything when i put it back together all the harnesses and grounds i even installed a extra starter that i had.
And of course when i go to start it, it just cranks its turning over but wont start had 12.8 volts coming from the battery. So i check all the fuses and connections it was fine checked all my wires fine too. I thought maybe it was a line from my turbo timer to the ecu they were fine too. I checked the timing looks fine. im getting spark from all coils i pulled them and grounded them and got spark. I could smell fuel untill the last couple of starts. so i pulled the back seat and checked the fuel pump wires they were fine too but the fp was not making a nosie when i put the car in acc. I called it a quits there please help me evom im at a point or time where you just hate your evo .

Do you have access to a multimeter? May want to jumper the fuel pump and check for voltage entering the fuel pump to make sure it is getting adequate voltage to work properly.

The fuel pump only receives power when the key is in the ON position. It also only receives power for 2 seconds when it's in the ON position, unless the engine is actually running. It sounds more to me like you flooded the car out. I suggest that you pull the fuel pump relay, or fuse, and then try turning the car over for 10 -15 seconds to clear the cylinders of fuel. You may also want to remove the sparks plugs and spray them down with parts cleaner to remove the excess fuel from them as well.
