Make sure battery has a full charge. Have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?
Chevy doesn't have a fuel cut-off switch. As far as ford--chevy--Chrysler, ford is the only one I know of that has a fuel cut-off switch.
This is how fuel pumps act. One day they work and the next they don't. Check the fuel pump. Even a weak pump pressure will fail to start the car. Unless you were in an accident a fuel cut-off switch won't activate.
Also: Start by checking if it's a fuel or spark problem. Take a plug wire off and turn motor over.If there is fire, Take the hose going from the air cleaner to the throttle body off and spray a small amount of carb. cleaner in.If it's a fuel prob.,check the fuel pump relay (under the hood in a black box) (swap the relay out with another relay in the box ) If the relay is o.k., it's probably the fuel pump. If it's a spark prob., start with the coil and wires going to the coil.
Ford products have an inertia switch to cut power to the pump in a wreck, I don't show a switch between the pump and the relay on a Chrysler. If you have no fuel pressure you may have damaged the pump in the tank. A mechanic would check for voltage at the ASD relay in the engine compartment and then at the gas tank connector.
check for fuel cutoff switch reset button. these are designed to shut off fuel in case of accident but they will some times be activated on blowout or even when you hit a pothole or speed bump. your local parts house can tell you its exact location, should be in rear window washer compartment or glovebox.
Have you checked the "Bump Switch" this is a small inertia switch which turns offf the fuel pump to prevent it running in the event of an accident. They are usually mounted in the boot(trunk/load area) . There should also be one mounted under the front of the vehicle to initiate the Airbags. They usually cut the earh return(at least it does on my Granada, XR3i and Sierra XR4x4) hope this helps.
Some vehicles have a fuel pump cut off switch that shuts all power to fuel pump in case of an accident. It activates by inertia...meaning that a severe "bump" will activate switch, thereby cutting off the fuel pump. If your vehicle has that switch, hitting that bump may have activated switch. If you do have that switch, reset it by pressing in the reset button.
HI, NOT ENOUGH INFO.

it sounds like you have to push your fuel cut off switch, the switch could under your hood or in by the dash somewhere.have a look at your owners manual it will be in there or you can ask your local dealer where the fuel cut switch is on your car.
youll find all cars vans nowadays have a fuel cut off switch so if your in an accident it automaticlly cut the fuel pump off its normally just a push button which should be not to difficult to get at just reset it and youll find youll be on your way no have no idea where it is on this model as they vary yates210456
