Ok well if the engine is not turning at all these may be your problems,
1 Battery connections loose or corroded
2 battery discharged or faluty
3 Clutch not completly depressed
4 Broken, loose, or disconnected wire in the starting circut
5 starter motor pinion jammed in the flywheel ring gear
6 starter solinoid faulty
7 starter motor faulty
8 Ingition switch faulty
If all the lights come one when the key is in the ignition and you get a click that rules out 1, 2 and 8.
I dont think it is the fuel pump because even if it is broken the engine will at least turn over but wont start.
Go through that list of things that i listed and check them all. Should cover the problem. Start witht the easiest too.
Good luck.
