Default car suddenly cut out?

i have come across a issue, i was driving along and the car suddenly started frustrating similar to when you run out of fuel. I tryd turning the car on but it wouldnt start. The car does give spark, but im suspecting its something to do with the fuelling? The fuelpump is not making the noise when i turn the ignition on? The car has got fuel. This is very awkward it also has an alarm/immobiliser, dont knw if dat might be part of the problem. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

One of 3 then mate, coz you should hear the pump priming.
1. Fuel pump relay.
2. Fuel pump.
3. Immobiliser cutting fuel pump/relay.

thanks lads, the loom dat clips on to the fuel pump was not plugged in properly, hence causing it to short circuit and blowing the fuel pump.
