see the article in my post. it tells you how to check for spark and fuel. you can hear the fuel pump come on. you cant hear the fuel moving through the tubing. check for blown fuses too.

i've changed the fuses and now i can hear the fuel going to the engine......there's like a lil squeak in the line...(seems like it's coming from under the driver's seat or so)......i think it's the fuel injectors......i can't check the fuel injectors or spark at the moment.....trying my best to figure this out....but it seems like it's getting spark.....but wtf do i know.......

the fuel pump is in the hatch by spare wheel. You should hear it come on. if your antenna motor is working it might be hard to tell which is which.
