i had a problem a few weeks ago with my car not starting, i changed the spark plugs and after a bump start it worked fine for a week, now it will not start at all and i do not know what could be wrong with it

i know nothing about cars/engines, but a have had a few suggestions from friends of blocked fuel lines and broken fuel sensor relay

i have tried the paperclip test, but unfortunately my 16 pin connector is not the same as the one in the diagrams

this is the one in the instructions

and this is the one i have

any suggestions on what i can do?
