This could be a fuel pump failure. Test fuel pressure and delivery. The pump is in the tank, remove the rear seat bottom. It is on the right side under the big plastic screw top. Try thumping the top of the pump while cranking, if it starts (they sometimes do) then there's the problem. Repost if not.

Thank you! It stayed on, I think I have learned everything I can regarding fuel pumps, fuel pump filters etc. thanks to this forum. I can now attempt to change it out. Thanks again!
