Judging with your knowledge all you can do is make sure the fuses didn't go.

SO IF THE FUSES WENT OUT THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM?.............IS THERE A FUSE FOR THE GAS PUMP & ALTERNATOR?

If your alternator was bad it simply means that your battery would not recharge so that rules that out. And yes anyhting recieving power in your car will have a fuse, if it isn't powerd it will not work. But my advice just take it to a mechanic.

time for trouble shooting, do have fuel? do you have spark? go to autozone and get a spark tester (they are like $5) how long since last tune up? could have worn out sparkplugs. does it use a distibuter or crank postion sensor? etc, timing could be off, timing belt could be broken, thats all i can think of at the moment
