Can you hear the fuel pump run (sounds like a hum) when you turn the key to the "on" position, before turning it all the way over to "start"?

You can hear best if you remove the gas cap and listen there while somebody else turns the key.

Possibly the fuel pressure regulator. Check the fuel pressure which should be around 42 psi.
Could also be a sensor (MAF, Crank position, or Cam position).

Check for codes.

i agree check the fuel pressure regulator best do it cause if this part is going bad you dont want to let it leave you stranded and fail completely
