Not hearing the humming noise when you turn the key on makes me think it its the fuel pump?? First thing I would try is using a 2x4 or rubber mallet tap on the bottom of gas tank and then try starting vehicle or have some trying to start it when taping on gas tank. If it does start and run you will need to replace fuel pump as it will leave you stranded again.

IF that does not work check your fuse for fuel pump and do a fuel pressure test with a gauge that you can rent from autozone with a deposit that is returned when tool is returned.

ANother thing you can do is take off the distrubtor cap and crank the engine to make sure distributor rotor is turning, if not you have a broken timing belt. Buy the way the engine is non-interference so don't worry about bent valves if belt is broken.

Is the check engine light on???

Hopefully this helps and let us know what you find out.
