Your chip on your key is not making contact clean it with some keyboard spray -same problem with my 1998 regal gs. Sometimes there are issues with the small wires that connect the key tumbler and the anti-theft module. This will cause the fuel pump to not run

Try performing a relearn first to see if it takes- See the guide below

The only place that will have the proper equipment to test it is a dealer. If you need to get it started, turn the key to the run position for 10+ minutes. It should start after that.
