ok this is what u need to do ,1st visit your parts store ,buy a fuel pressure gauge ,after that take that black cover over the throttle body off if u have one on it ,now locate the fuel injector rail ,in the middle of the rail u will see a small black screw on cap on test port ,remove cap ,now take fuel pressure gauge & screw the hose on tightly ,after that turn ignition on do not try to start at this point ,just turn ignition on ,check gauge should read about 38-40 psi ,also while turning key on, seat inside vehicle & listen for a buzzing sound from under the rear seat ,if no buzzing & fuel pressure reading is zero ,then u need a fuel pump ,and this is after u have checked all fuses,good luck .
