Have you hit any big bumps lately? There should be an inertia switch. Push the red button. It may have triggered. Should be located behind the left kick panel drivers side. Should be a black box with a red button. If not on drivers side, check passenger side. If not the inertia switch, you may have a bad fuel pump.
