Hello John, it is very likely that the issue you are experiencing could be caused by a faulty fuel pump. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the fuel pump fuse: This is the easiest and first thing you should check. If the fuse is blown, replace it and see if it solves the issue.

2. Listen for noise from the fuel pump: When you turn the key to ON position, listen for a buzzing noise coming from the fuel tank. This indicates that the fuel pump is working. If there is no noise, it could mean that the fuel pump is faulty.
