See if you're getting a spark and post back

+1 on checking for spark.

And, just because you can hear the pump running is not a 100 percent guarantee that it's actually pumping fuel, you need to test it with a pressure gauge to eliminate it as a problem.

Check all the fuses in the dash and relays and fuses in the PDC (black box) under the hood also.

Yup, def. sounds like a spark or fuel delivery issue. Like said above, test the spark first, pretty easy to do, and go from there.
