stupid question, but are you sure you're not out of gas?

you've described the common symptoms for not having gas in your car, which is why you may not be getting fuel into the system.

or good chance your fuel pump took a sh*t . what year is the car? if anything first check to seeif its even turning on when you click the key over you will hear the system prime listen by the rail if your hear it prime then a click noise its fine. start with that. if you have fuel next check for spark. hope it helps.
