You've got a kickass nickname.. welcome to the forums
Check for fuel pressure, Your pump is probably gone.. Can you see fuel being injected in the throttlebody?? (im assuming its a tbi)

its a good idea to change the filter at the same time while your under there if it hasnt been done in awhile..
Also, to prolong the life of your fuel system.. Try to keep at least a quarter tank in the car at all times.. When you run your car on empty, the pump starts picking up sludge from the bottem of the tank.. The extra fuel also helps to keep the pump cool

have you checked for power to your injectors??? you can buy noid lights from just about any automotive store, and they plug into the fuel injector harness where the injectors normally do, try to start the car, they should start flashing, or turn on, to show that power is being sent t the injectors, sounds to me like for whatever reason the injectors arent getting a signal to fire.
