Toyota Camry has trouble starting

About 4 months ago in december, I ended up getting some bad gas in my car which made my car difficult to start sometimes. It’s a 2013 Toyota Camry LE with 131300 miles, I drove out all the bad gas and put 93 supreme in the tank and it helped a bit. I also replaced the fuel pump and it was fine for about a month with typical no starts but it would still start up. I put some fuel tank cleaner in the tank as well and it helped a bit but it still would not start from time to time. Pumping the gas pedal while trying to crank it would help sometimes which was weird because it’s a 4 cylinder fuel injected engine. But now I can’t get it to start at all, it cranks but will not start at all I’m starting to believe it’s the fuel injectors but I could be wrong, what should I do? The check engine light also never came on and when my neighbor hooked up his scan tool no codes were found.

So you're in a Crank/NO Start situation now.

Do the Crank/NO Start drill. Turn the key to ON and listen to make sure that the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds.

If you don't hear the pump running, start checking the fuses and relays in the circuit.

If you hear the pump, then spray some starting fluid into the throttle body to see if the Camry will start for a second or two.

If it starts, it's time to check fuel pressure and for power and a ground signal to the fuel injectors. (You can test the fuel injector wires with a test light in about 2 minutes)

If it didn't start on the starting fluid, it's time to check if it's getting spark.

Change out the fuel filter and clean the injectors.
