Sounds like it could be the ignition switch module, mounted to the steering column.
No spark, and no fuel pump prime the first 2-3 seconds the key is on is a sure sign that the switch tumblers have failed. Usually the dash lights will be out also, but numerous other glitches have shown up also.

With the key in the on position, can you shift the transmission out of park?
If not, check to see if you have voltage at the top pin of the tranny fuse ( #12 I think). If not, it's the switch module

Here's a link on how to replace it, if this is the problem.
