When you turn the key does the engine turn over but not start? And can you hear the fuel pump come on?

It should sound like a buzz or a humm. Did your car backfire or make any unusual noise before it stopped running?

Yes, you should hear the fuel pump when you turn the key forward to on position just before cranking it up.

Not necessarily.......Many Asian cars only power when cranking.

The fuel pump is only activated for 1 second when ignition is turned on so it is not easy to detect its operation due to the short time span.
