35 psi may be too low for the engine to run. Find out what the psi is supposed to be and compare the reading you got. Dont replace the fuel pump before you test the pump and verify that the fuel pump is getting 12 volts of power and has a good ground.
Always check the circuit for power and ground on electronic parts’ circuits because if there is a poor electrical connection or a broken/damaged wire, you will end up replacing a part that is in working order.

What did the plugs look like? What was the result of the testing you did to see if each cylinder had spark? What was the fuel pressure? Is there any engine coolant in the reservoir? What is the oil level? Are there any fluid level sensors? Did you test the vehicle speed sensor?

I dont know about the other stuff, but a fuel pressure test can rule out the fuel pump and is easily done.

Do you have a Haynes or a Chilton’s manual for your car? I suspect you are working on getting your rocker arms reset on the pushrods properly.
