Default Boostd is stuck in NJ

his car turns over but wont fire. He checked fuses, but has no tools or flashlights to try anything else. Maybe plugs, may have a code, but he doesn't know.

Default Yeeesh...a little bit too far for me.

Does he have a CEL when the key is in the ON position? ECU didn't accidentally end up in anti-theft mode, did it?

Default Has he tried pulling the fuel pump fuse and cranking?

Just in case the cylinders got flooded.

Short of that, I'm thinking the fuel pump might be shot (does he still have the factory original pump in there...how many miles on it?). Does he hear the fuel pump prime up when he puts the key in the ON position?
