VATS? Try cleaning the pellet on the key or another key..
When you turn on the ignition, the fuel pump energises via the ECU and pressurises the fuel rail to about 45psi.
Turn the key further to energise the starter, and it should fire.
When it does, the oil pressure comes up and the oil pressure switch (next the oil pressure sensor behind the dist.) makes and takes over the 12v feed to the fuel pump from the ECU.
I would turn on the ignition, then turn it off and check the fuel pressure at the rails Schrader valve. Preferably with a gauge, or carefully with a screwdriver tip, safety specs and a lot of rags and fire extinguisher handy.
If you have pressure, the fuel part is good, so check for spark next..
