Could this have anything to do with the fuel pump and why its not running. Everthing else works but I cant understand why its not running?? Please help me if you have any clue of what I am saying LOL.

I'd get it to a shop and have a professional take a look at it, could be a fuse, a relay, fuel pump etc....
