Pull the dirty filter out and try to start her. I'd bust out the good old volt meter and start testing the CPS. Good luck man!

Uh, no. Check your CPS output voltage first as recommended above..

Could be fuel pump. Test the fuel pressure at the fuel rail with a gauge.

Until you start testing, it's all an educated guess. What's your budget for buying and replacing unneeded parts?
