Car won't start!!!

The car was driving fine. I parked it, came back a few hours later to get some food and nothing. I have power to everything, but the car won't start. I doesn't turn over or make any noises. I changed the started and soleinod but nothiing. I hooked up a switch to the starter directly to bypass all the electronic BS, and it still won't start! It does turn over. I looked to see if I was getting a spark from the spark plugs and they do. however i don't think fuel is flowing to the TBI. If you have any suggestions it would a great help.

check on your fuel line to see if you have a place to check the pressure, somehting like a valve stem, if you do turn the egnition on and push the little stem in to see if you have pressure if not unscrew the line to the trottle body turn the key on see if the pump is pumping if it isn't check relay or fuse link and if you have pressure than its not the fuel.

If you have throttle body there should be a fuel spray as soon as you try cranking the engine over. If there is no spray it most like ly is a fuel problem. Check you service manual for the Fuel Pump testing procedure. Or have a friend turn the key on while you listen for the pump to run @ the filler neck.

Thanks for the info... When I crank the engine with the switch no fuel sprays out. I was wondering if something went wrong with PASS KEy system? I know If someone tried uing the wrong key, it shuts the fuel off for three minutes.(But I use MY Key, so I don't know) Thanks-
