Sounds like the fuel pump died.  Do you hear the fuel pump running for a
second or two when you turn the key on?  If not, it's dead.  Mine gave me a
few weeks of audible warning before it died.  It got real noisy.  There's a
guy in Garland, Texas that sells Walbro 190 lph pumps for a good price.  I
don't remember the name of his company.  A Google search for Garland Texas
Walbro might turn him up.

Hope this helps.

i've checked those fuses, and everything is ok.  I've tried running the 
KOEO test, and the car makes noises but i may have run the battery too 
low to finish the test because i never see the Check Engine light flash 
for any codes.  I checked the valve on the fuel rails and there is no 
spray of fuel out...so i would guess no fuel pressure.  would this 
point to a faulty fuel pump?  i have checked the fuel reset button in 
the trunk and it is not tripped.  thanks everybody for your help.  this 
is my daily driver and i'm stuck at home till i get it running.
