If fuel pump is not coming on, check the relay. The relay is incorporated into the CCRM, which is under the hood at the passenger side wheel well. Back-probe pin 5 of the CCRM connector (dark green wire with yellow stripe) using a 12 volt test light or voltmeter. Connect the other test wire to a good engine or chassis ground point. Pin 5 should be hot when the key is turned on. If not, check pins 11 and 12 in the same way. If pin 11 (light blue/orange stripe wire) is not hot, check the 20 amp fuel pump fuse.
If the pump is working, see if there is a schrader valve on the fuel rail on top of the engine where you can check for fuel pressure by depressing the valve stem. Do this carefully with a rag over the valve to prevent squirting fuel on yourself.
If you have fuel pressure, check for spark using the procedure given at the following post: http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5821173-doesnt_car_start_gasoline_engines .
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks fopr using FixYa.

WillNot start batt., good starter, good all fuzzes good

If the engine is not cranking over, it could be the clutch safety switch
(standard trans), Neutral safety switch (automatic) or ignition switch.

If the engine is cranking but not starting, it is not the starter, battery
or alternator. Check fuel supply, ignition and compression.
