If you don't hear the BZZZT under the hood when you turn on 
the key,  it could be relay #10, it's the one to the left
of the spare fuses.  Try removing it and cleaning the contacts.
Usually a little jiggling is enough.  You can jump it with a piece 
of wire and two spade connectors to test.  Very common problem.
This is the fuel pump relay.  Check fuses too while you're there.
