TL engine turns over but doesn't start

I finally had a day to wash the car yesterday. I started it, backed it up, turned it off, washed it, started it back up, put it back in its spot, turned it off. About 5 hours later I get ready to go out and start the car and the car just turns over but never catches. I tried it a few more times and same thing. The car is stock '04 with 90k, I am not getting any CELs, I can hear the fuel pump turning on, timing belt is still intact, and I don't see any blown fuses.

Any ideas?!

turn key into the mode where it is active, but the motor is not running. wait until your fuel guage reads the proper level. Then push the key forward to start the car. See if it starts, if it does your problem is the fuel pump.
