Yep, pull the fuel feed line, put it in a cup, crank it, does the cup fill up with gas? Pull the coil packs, put a screwdriver in one of the plug wires, crank it, does the spark arc? You haven't told us anything you've tried.

Do you have the real key? You may have to disable the transponder if not. Look to see if it shows anything on the dash when starting.

What! Don't you have ESP?

to OP: Did you verify that you have a good key with matching immobilizer code in the ECU?
