I remembered a device on the drivers side fender well (near the front of the car) that is supposed to act to cut of the fuel (I think) to reduce consumption when you are coasting (foot off of pedal). Mine was unplugged by the PO. See if you can fine the little tyke and disconnect him, and try starting then.

Good luck!
