Exclamation have fuel to the rail, still not starting

so my situation is, my car was outside overnight in -40 to -30 for about 3 days,when i went to get it it was turning over but did not fire. I towed it home, trying to get it going along the way "pull starting it" but no luck.
so since then i have replaced the filter in the engine bay, checked the plugs(have spark), i now today took the fuel line off the rail and i DO have fuel pressured up to there.
now i also sprayed some starting fluid in the air intake, still did not fire.
any idea whats goin on here? anyone have this similar problem?

So even starting fluid got you nothing??? If you have spark, then that's a major issue since ether is extremely flammable.
