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.
