Sudden unknown fault

[Mr Anderson]

Hi All. My 2002 2ltr petrol with 56k on the clock has always been well looked after runs quietly and without issues but now has just stopped. It turns over but will not start.

Had the AA out to it and for two hours they could not get it going although they did establish that no power was getting to the fuel pump and it was a bit disconcerting to watch him bashing the relays. Car hasn't been used a lot in the last year until the last three months when 1k has been put on. Car is pretty much mint and has never let me down and main dealer serviced. Just dont want to go down the road of replacing exspensive items when I feel it is something simple, I hope.

Any help or tips would be appreciated.

It may well be the crankshaft position sensor or even the system relay but if there is power to the fuel pump it should prime the fuel injectors.
I would be checking the spark output and another thing to check is the cambelt hasn't slipped
