Make sure that your fuel filter is not plugged,I would also check if there is even gas pumping from the tank,(if none possible fuel pickup tube is broke or the fuel tank selector is not switching)make sure you can hear the fuel pump cycle when you turn the key on.

Check to see if there is power delivered to and from the selenoids that energize the fuel pumps. There are two of those located on the passenger side side-wall as you open the hood.

If there is power to the selenoids and no power out from them then replace the faulty one. They can corrode and /or wear out.

If there is no power to the selenoids, check for a broken supply wire. In mine it was a broken wire that got jammed (while still in the harness) underneeth the inside engine cover and some bracket for the injectors.

I found the broken wire after I had taken the gas tank out looking for a broken fuel pump which of course was working just fine.

Best of luck!

Check the roll over switch drivers side near the E brake
de pressurizing the fuel system will cause them to trip

Listen to "The Weezle" above, check/reset the impact switch or whatever it's called.

Locknkey, you're right, I didn't even notice that. I was reading thru posts last night and did not even pay attention to how old the thread was. I got egg on my face.
