Test the ignition switch -- see FAQs sticky.

The fuel pump primes when the key is turned from OFF to ON(II), right?

But you can push start the engine, right?

And when the key is in ON(II), the starter turns the engine but it won't start, right?

When cranking the engine in ON(III), have you checked for spark at the plugs and whether the injector spray fuel?

Sounds like an ignition switch problem. Test it.

You'll find a diagram in the electrical section of the FAQs sticky.
