When you turn the ignition to the first (MAR) position,when the dash is on,do you hear the fuel pump in the fuel tank runing for about 3 seconds?If no,check the engine cut out switch first.On the older models it under one of the front seats.In UK models It should be under the drivers (right) seat.On newer models it on the front pillar under dashboard,it´s by the fuse box,but on the pillar.On the UK models it´s on the right pillar.It has a rubber on it.Slightly push it if it isn´t p jumped out.If it´s pushed in,the your problem is probably the fuel pump.
