How many miles? May be a fuel pump.

Thanks for the info, I think you may be correct as I cannot hear the fuel pump when the ingnition is turned on.

Thanks for your help,

On a car that old, if you have fuel pressure to the rail, my next suspect would be the crank position sensor. You are going to have to do some diagnostics to verify whether the injectors are pulsing and the plugs are firing.
