Still injected? Check the relay board and the fuel pump relay.

Is the engine cranknig over fine? Just no fuel pump?

So it looks like the fuel pump. You can either do the troubleshooting with a meter or you can try the usual suspects. The fastest test and the most likely culprit is to replace the main power and fuel pump relays. They are the same relay as your headlights. If your headlights pop up ok take the relays from them and replace the two on the relay board.

This is the relay lay-out.

Check the main power and fuel pump relays. Make sure they are getting power and they are working properly. You can cross the appropriate posts as well to test.

Fuel pump relay and the main power relay. The ECU is grounded through the wiring harness.
