Have you sprayed starting fluid into the throttle body? This may tell you if it’s a fuel related no start.

I found out it was a bad air flow meter, so the fuel pump wasn't running... now I have to find the fuel pump relay so I can jump it if it happens again.(I just grabbed the VAF off of another car)

I believe the fuel pump relay is under the driver side dash area. There is also a T connector in the engine bay near the firewall that can be jumped out to test the fuel pump.

thank you, if I jump the connector, how long could I run the car like that without messing anything up? Just in case the VAF from the other car goes out before the new one arrives.

I can only advise you on what I would do. The test connector is only used to verify the pump is functional. I would not drive a car of mine with the connector jumped out. You are bypassing the normal circuit and and safety features of the fuel system.
