Default car wont start

i have a 00 si and it wont start. we thought the relay was bad but swapped it out with a friends still did the same thing. the car gets spark and i can smell fuel from under the hood. but when the key is on it makes a strange noise on the IM like a buzzing. the car doesnt sound like it did before when it went to start. anyone have a idea?

thanks

also it is boosted and tuned with chrome on a p28 ecu.

Relays buzz when they don't get enough voltage. Do you hear the fuel pump kick on?

if there wasa solid CEL I believe it means code Zero which indicates bad ECU . Did you jemp the plug above the passenger side kick panel if you did and still did not throw a CEL i would check to see if the fuse was pulled or if the bulb was pulled .Anyway glad you fixed the prob
