Check the obvious first ... check the fuel pump relay and fuse under the hood and like mentioned before, reset the shut-off switch if the relay and fuse are good. Start there and if none of those, start probing voltage at the pump. Above all else, don't try to crank for more than 10-12 seconds at a time so you don't burn up the starter.

Double and triple check all electrical connections under the hood!
