I would check the fuel cut off switch that is located in the trunk and make sure it is not triped.

like the guy above states
the fuel cut off switch.in the trunk is usualy behind carpet trim it is just a box with a little button push the button and the fuel should come back on. should be on the left side near the hindge support.

I would check the fuel pump relay and the power wire to the relay first. cut off switch rarely goes bad.

I had a strike of thunder that was so violent it flipped my cut off switch. Scared the bejeezus out of me. I thought I had shorted my whole system from being so close, but it was just the sudden vibration that flipped the switch.

But I agree- check all of those things, starting with the easiest. If you don't have a voltmeter and test light, get 'em. I bought new ones and spent $25 total, including tax.
