Often it is the fuel pump relay that goes bad. Can you hear the pump humming in the back when you turn the key almost all the way? You could do what I did to test the pump... Pull up the wood floor panel in the trunk/hatch area, and under that you will see a round cover about 8" in diameter. Pop it off with a screwdriver and you will see the pump, and the electrical posts. The positive post is marked with a red tie, and the cable is fatter. You can hook a 12 volt source (ie jumper cables from another battery) right up to these posts to see if it runs.
When my fuel pump relay died, I was in a movie theater parking garage. My brother gave me a ride home, where I took the battery out of my dads van, then had my brother give me a ride back to the parking garage. I set the battery in the trunk and hooked it up to the fuel pump with jumper cables and drove home. So yeah, it turned out to be the fuel pump relay on my car that had been cooked.
There is another way to check the pump electrical system, that's in the manual, but I can't remember it off hand. Good luck.
