What engine do you have in your 2003? sounds like you may not be getting fuel to the rails. You will need a pressure gauge to determine if you are getting fuel ut there, or push on the test port and see if gas sprays out at you, don't get it in your eyes lol.

Check the fuse and relay for the fuel pump before shooting it down

No pressure will be on the fuel rails unless the pump is running. Dont expect the system to stay pressurized with the engine off. That would be dangerous. If you flip the key to the ON position, do you hear the pump turn on and run for a few seconds before the ASD (Auto Shutdown) relay kicks it off?

any Canadian tire will have the pump or UAP Napa, or bumper to Bumper. Where in Canada are you at?
