I can hear the fuel pump start when I put the key into the on position, but when I attempt to start it it will crank but doesn't fire up and run. I checked all fuses and switched fuel pump relay already and reset the security. What else can I do? I am stuck away from home and need to be back in town before Saturday morning.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Although you hear the fuel pump, it may not be working. You need to determine if the no start is related to an ignition or fuel issue. Take a look through this link:

Here are a couple links that explain how to test fir ignition spark as well as the fuel pump:
