Default fuel pump

check for fuel pressure. crack open the fuel supply line at the fuel rail and get a small bottle to catch fuel. Have someone crank the engine for a few seconds to see if steady supply of fuel comes out. If not, there's your problem.

Default Don't need to crank it... Pop the line off, and turn on the key. Of course...

you don't need to pop the line off either, you can just listen carefully at teh back of hte car.

Pull out a spark plug, see if it's wet with fuel or not.

or just attach a fuel pressure gauge at the handy shraeder valve on the fuel rail.
