Does your THEFT light flash rapidly? Could be that your PATS system is messed up...

most likely things are

1. fuel pump went

2. spark plugs fouled out ( not common unless the car is moved only a little and then shut off ALOT)

3. PATS issue. \

first thing make sure the inertia switch was not triggered. then have somebody cycle the key while you listen for the pump, or take a pen and push in the schrader (sp.) valve on the fuel rail. if no fuel come out then you have no fuel pressure
