Fuel pump failures uncommon on these vehicles from my experience. First thing I would do is remove a spark plug, if it is black or wet with fuel, hold accelerator pedal to the floor while attempting to start engine, release after 10 seconds. Start engine no longer than 20 seconds at a time. Holding the pedal to the floor places ecm in clear flood mode by cutting off the injectors.

We had this problem. The counter balance weight timing belt had snapped, got under the regular timing belt and caused the timing belt to jump time. Ours took out the crank sensor so no spark, but could have just as easily gone the other way. It was puzzling because the timing belt was still pulling the cam and everything looked like it was working. Replacement of the crank sensor requires pulling the timing belt, so that is how I found the problem.

So it turns over when you try to start it? You checked the fuel system? Filter, pump etc?
