Try putting the key in the ignition and just turning the key- don't start it. Do this for a couple of times. When you do, you should hear a whining sound for about 3-5 seconds. That's your fuel pump delivering your fuel- at least that's what someone told me. I know when I was servicing Cup and she was down for a few weeks, I was told to do this so she'll get fuel fed to her- I had no problems. I hope this works for you.

Let us know what your resolve is.
