This happened to me before ....
Basically do an overall check....check your fuses, replace blown (if any), check spark plugs &coil for fire, if all of these are fine, what I did was poured a small ammount of gas into each cylinder, put plugs back in and turned it over to see if it would fire up, if yours does, and then dies right back out, then for sure its a fuel problem, SOMETIMES, you can get the pump working again by tapping the gas tank with a rubber mallet while someone is turning the engine over, that way you could drive it to a shop. If it is just a fuel problem, theres a good chance its only the pre-pump, wich isnt very pricey (of hard to fix on your own),If the fuel pump itself is no good and needs replacement, you can get one from napa for about $300.00...also not to hard to replace on your own.
Hope that helps out some!
