ok so terminal and leads are good. thats good.. you can hear the pump priming.. thats good.

you can go to autozone or oriellys and rent a compression tester. its really easy to do, you just pop out the spark plug, thread in the tester, make sure you remove the fuse for the fuel pump so the car does start. crank the car over for a couple of seconds and see what the gauge reads. it should be in the 150-180psi range ( all of them). its very very easy to do.

you need to check if your getting spark its very important and also easy to do. we cant help you unless you start diagnosing the car and reporting back

google how to test for spark
google how to compression test
google how to.. you get the point.
