You need to see what's missing fuel or spark, find the injection test port on the fuel rail unscrew the cap depress the schraeder valve have someone turn the switch on did you get fuel? No pump isn't workindcheck fuses before replacing pump. If Yes remove a plug wire insert a screwdriver into the boot and then hold the metal part of the screwdriver 1/2 in. away from a metal part of the engine block and have someone crank the engine, do you see a spark? If no check ignition system
