Sounds like a fuel pump issue but could be many other things too. I would start by replacing the fuel filter, it's possible its not letting in as much fuel as needed. Spark plugs are another possibility, I'd change them out if they're more than a year old (as your car gets older it will blow more oil and the spark plugs get fouled much sooner). It could be compression too, you'll need to pressure test each cylinder and verify compression is within spec (if it's not, that's a BIG repair). Also try lower octane gas, it actually ignites faster than high octane gas.

Start by squirting a little fuel into the throttle body and then crank it and see if it fires up .. if so its a fuel problem if not its going to be something in the electrical. holler if you need more thanks Jerry

inspect throttle linkage, if it is connected properly.
replace fuel filter, it sounds like the engine is starving for fuel.

You will not be able to hear the fuel pump on that model. First you have to determine if you get fuel and have spark. If it is a fuel problem, replace the DME relay first. Very common. They act up and fail without warning. Part is cheap and located in the fuse box. Next would be the fuel pump.
If it is spark related it may be the Flywheel Reference Sensors. There are two and the cost about $100 each.
Good Luck.
