Hello, I'm Danny.

This sounds like a fuel pump or the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out. When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Please run down this guide and report back. Sounds like a faulty in-tank fuel pump.

Here is a tutorial showing what is involved for its replacement:

Also including a tutorial showing how to test the pressure. If you don't have a fuel pressure tester your local auto parts stores have a loaner program and can rent you one.

The fuel pressure specifications with Key On-Engine Off are 35-45 PSI. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
