94 Nissan Fuel Problem ?

Looking for a bit of guidance on what I think is a fuel issue on a 1994
Toyota Maxima.
Vehicle is on the side of the street as I type this!

I get spark and engin turn over well, just won't fire. Vehicle is my
daughters and I am not versed with all the quarks of this car.
She filled up the tank this morning went to work and parked it, now it won't
start.
I checked for spark...good, distributor..looks good..cleaned it anyway..
When to the gas tank...don't hear the pump kick in on ignition turn on..
Daughter mentions that the security blicky light on the dash is not flashing
as it normaly does..

Question..stock alarm systems...does it have a fuel cut off interlock
mechanism
Is the pump truly in the tank! If so..is there a connector that I can check
continuity on bothe the mortor windings and float sender..
I can spot it from under the vehicle.. is it above the tank.....Or am I
lucky and the pump is mounted elsewere outside the gas tank

Any insight would be appreciated..

I think you'll find that all the electric fuel pumps nowadays are
inside the tank. Remember, that just because you can't hear the pump
running... doesn't mean the pump is bad. There are fuses and relays
involved. Your question about the alarm is interesting to me. I don't
know exactly how the Nissan "immobilizer" alarm feature works. It
implies that either the fuel or spark is diabled when the alarm is
activated. Since you have spark... we might assume your hunch is
correct about the alarm having the ability to disable the fuel pump
relay. Let's see if somebody knows exactly how it immobilizes..
