It sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone bad which will cause the fuel pump not to turn on.

Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the repair:

You will need to jack the car up safely.

Here is what it will be like on you car (below) diagrams sorry some are blurry.

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.

I do not think it is a fuel problem. Lets scan the car for codes but a crankshaft sensor may or may not set a code.

Here is a guide:

Please run this test and get back to us so we can keep helping you.
