Turn the key to the on position and see if you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. It'll be a high pitch whine. If not take a hammer and tap on the bottom of the gas tank while someone else tries to crank over the vehicle. If it starts replace the fuel pump. If it doesn't then check to see if you have power going to the fuel pump. You might even have a bad fuel pump relay. If the fuel issue is good then you'll need to check for spark. Check for fuel first and let me know. If you don't hear a respone tonight i'll will respond tomorrow. Good luck
