Hello, so when you turn the key on, do you hear the fuel pump come on for about 5 seconds inside the fuel tank? Also, does the security light flash while you are cranking the engine over? I would unplug the MAF sensor as well, if this sensor is bad it wont allow the fuel pump to kick on, please go over this video a s well.

Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on. Please go over this guide and get back to us. Ken
