there is a fuel pump relay on the driver side strut tower and a fuse check the fuse then replace the relay you can also grab youre ac relay to check if thats the problem there is also a bleeder valve on the fuel rail with a cap on it its like a tire valve stem just use a screwdriver to push in the little valve in the middle if no fuel comes out then turn car on and do it still no fuel after all of above is done replace pump
