fuel pump most likely, 1st turn on your key and listen or have someone listen to the fuel tank you should hear a buzzing sound for about 5-10 seconds . try this a few times if no buzzing 1st check the fuses there should be one for fuel pump , if its not that then you need a new pump it is in the tank .

Could be a lot of things, the above is mostly correct. Could be a sporatic fuel pump failing, or possibly the ECM is gone adn it overheats and shuts down. Ran into a few of these recently, but take it to a shop and hope its not.
