what is anti-theft light doing? It should come on solid for about 2 sec after you turn the key on then turn off. If it is flashing after this then it is not seeing the computer chip in the key and you have a PATS problem.

This will sound stupid but check to make sure all the bulbs, yes I said bulbs, as in brake and turn signals are the correct bulb. No kidding. I fought a problem like this in my shop for a week on a mustang. It had a wrong brake light bulb. Just a idea. See if it will start by jumping the 2 posts on the starter solenoid under the hood on the inner fender. It has two battery cables going to it. use 2 heavy screw drivers to do this. Do not tough the metal of teh screw drivers. The solenoid could also be bad.

Once a pump goes, it is gone. Sometimes, the lack of voltage and then reconnecting (or just turning the key on) one can just fortunately get a little nudge that makes a bad pump work a short while, that is not a very dependable fuel pump, and it will soon leave you stranded.
The fuel pump for that car can be replaced for $ 59.98 with free shipping, includes the strainer and components you may need to do the job. Hose, clamps, etc.
Item # 150381374491 on eBay.
I have used pumps I've bought on eBay & compared the part # to other pumps available at higher prices but have yet to find any difference. Less attractive wholesale packaging.
Hope this helps, good luck.
