Fuel pump issues
Having issues with my car other night I went to pop out to get some fuel started the car fine went to reverse back and it just conked out I thought I'd stalled it, went to start it back up nothing after a few phone calls and some research on the net found out my fuel pump wasn't making a noise after putting the ignition on and had been having issues with fuel cut a few weeks before so decided to upgrade my fuel pump anyway long story short replaced it still absolutely nothing it turns over just doesn't fire wondering if a fuse has blown to cause this ? If so where is the fuse located ? Another thing aswell when the car originally stalled my boost gauge doesn't work at all now don't even come on hope someone can help as I'm fed up with all these niggly little issues and thinking of selling up and moving on

What car and spec?
Does it have an immobiliser? Could be this that's at fault.
Did you check the connecting block on top of the tank for signs of melting?
Might be worth spraying some electrical cleaner or wd40 in there.
Did you check the connecting block which is located under the rear bench seat?
Have you got a multimeter? You can check to see if you're getting power to the pump.
Is it priming now?

I had the the exact same thing happen about a year ago when reversing into a parking spot at work. The car cut out and would turn over but the fuel pump wasnt priming.
After spending an hour accessing the pump and testing it with a direct live the pump was fine. i had a blown a 15amp fuse in the fuse box near your right knee. If i remember correctly the label on the inside of the fuse cover was marked "ign". Replaced the fuse and has been fine ever since.
Try pulling all the fuses and check them one by one
