'02 celica having starting problems

So ive had my celica for about a year now and recently it was having problems starting, i had to try and start it 2-3 times before actually turning on and running perfectly, now it sometimes doesnt even start. The only thing i can think of is my fuel pump isnt building enough pressure to start my car, my solenoid is going bad, or (could be a stroke of luck) one time i was pushing on the fuses in the fuses box and it start more then 15 times in a row left it for about 15 minutes and would not start again. Any help?

Is the engine actually cranking, and not actually starting? or just no crank no start at all?

if you apply a little throttle does it start easier? any check engine codes or is the engine light on? does it run normally otherwise?

No, doesnt matter if i give it a little gas or not. Its the same. Check engine light is on and thats for some leaks in a vacuum hose somewhere in my car. Other then my car having a starting problem works perfect. About 30 minutes ago i just check my fuel line to see if im getting fuel to my engine and i am, so now my concern is if its getting a spark to turn my car so it can over and start running.
