Instead of just throwing parts and guesses at this why not pay for a real diagnostic from a shop . Then you can decide if the repair is something you can do.

A shotgun is not a good tool for repairing anything. Has a scan tool actually been used or not?

First step is to determine whether or not there is an ignition spark.  
Then determine if there is fuel pressure.  
Then whether there is an injector pulse.  
Then hopefully it has enough compression to run.
