This sounds like a fuel delivery issue. The fact that the engine starts and runs when you add starter fluid suggests that there is a problem with the fuel pump or the fuel pressure. It could also be a problem with the fuel filter or the fuel injectors. It would be best to have a mechanic diagnose and fix the issue.
And you know the fuel filter is good? Could be injector problem: just as a check, spray some starting fluid into the intake and see if engine runs a few seconds. If it does, it is a fuel problem. Check injector fuse, as a start. Check fuel pressure. Check injector circuit. If engine won't start with starting fluid, check if you are getting spark. Problem may be in the ignition system.
What you are telling me is the engine is firing the plugs but not getting fuel. When you changed the fuel pump and filter, did you check the fuel pressure at the rail ? Are the injectors getting power and ground pulse ??
It wouldn't hurt to check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge. you should see somewhere around 48 - 55 psi. the test port is on the fuel rail about in the middle of the rail and on the drivers side.
If the fuel fuel pressure is low it wouldn't hurt to make sure there is power to the fuel pump before condemning it. Power is supplied to the pump by the larger of the two grey wires.
The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and the fuel tank will need to be dropped from the vehicle in order to service the fuel pump.
If you decide to replace the fuel pump get an a/c delco or a delphi pump. These are the best two option for your vehicle. Do not get an airtex brand. They are not reliable pumps although they are cheap.

check make sure plugs sparking which is controlled by coil packs which could be faulty, very unlikely all injectors or coil packs faulty, start at basics check all fuses and engine ecm works injectors and only once car immobilizer has told engine ecm that key ok.
well there is a fuel pressure regulator which keeps pressure on, even while engine is off. i would suspect it is bad, or you have something else leaking pressure off while the engine is not running.
it has fuel pressure on engine side of fuel filter
