How old is your (Ecm or Ecu)? And have you checked the fuses as well, and checked the wires to the fuel pump to see if they are getting power? If you do not hear the priming of the the fuel pump, its not getting fuel at all.

Also, check if it has a fuel pump relay or main relay.

Try resetting security system if no manual look online for your car on how to do it. Also, check the battery cables as they may be dirty causing the security system to engage. When it does it shuts fuel off.
