Default

Check power at the fuel pump, run a ground wire to the battery ground then, with a manual find the power wire with for fuel pump and connect it to the positive terminal on your battery and see if it starts and runs, then you will know that you have possible fuse, relay, or wire proublem

Stop guessing. Buy/borrow a test light and check your fuses, power to the fuel pump, main relay. Test lights are like $5-$20

im having the same problem as you and then i noticed that my ACG (S) 15amp fuse keeps blowing. i havent found out whats making it blow yet but you should check that fuse. its right next to the SRS fuse underneath the drivers side dash keep us updated

even simplier, in case you don't have a test light, crack loose the 17mm bolt on the fuel filter and see if you have fuel pressure
