HELP evo wont start after one cold day

i couldnt get her started this morning and now i had her sitting in the shop. Cranks over great but it seems like im getting no fuel any suggestions. Im kinda freaking out car is being a pain well ever since i got it. I think its a lemon but i still love her mitsu ftw Anyways maybe im thinking water in the fuel i mean one day running great fill up and next day wont start. Pulled the plugs after cranking it for awhile and no fuel in the cylinders. Tried listening for the fuel pump to come on but didnt hear nothing. Not good so far. Thought i would go to the evo gods for advice thank u

This is a funny coincidence. (spelling?) I'm having the exact same issue. Interested to hear some suggestions. I however have changed a lot of things. Turbo, injectors, pulled EGR stuff, and some other things. Regardless I've witnessed the same problem. I would crank for awhile and pull the plugs and all the pistons were bone dry. Seems very odd. I checked the fuse for the fuel pump and it's good.

start with voltage, fuel pump fuse, fuel pressure, fuel pump! No fuel, no start!

^^^^ya how much miles are on the car if over 100k I'd say the pump... Usually when a pump is bad it will blow a fuse as soon as you turn the key on..

Coils? Is your wire lead contacting the plug or metal as you tested for spark? Are u using a ignition amplifier or CDI? AEM units usually don't go bad out of no where? Good luck.

Yeah +1 for AEM units that don't go bad, Ive run AEM EMS, F/IC you name it never had a problem with them. And as for the car if you think it's a lemon, well then maybe you screwed the pooch by getting this car, who knows. All I can gather is that it does NOT sound like a ECU problem, unless by ECU you mean your stocker? This sounds strictly like a mechanical/factory electrical issue to me.
