idk if u did, but double check the fuses.. under the hood theres the fuse box and check for the FI E/M fuse the first top left corner, if its out then u'll get nothing, no click or spark or fuel pump priming, also it could be ur ignition switch!

did you also check your ground conections, theres one on your thermostat housing and the main one from chassis to transmission? also did you check the connection from starter and battery and to the fuse box, that might be corroded
