car wont start

hey guys! new to the board here.
well, straight to the problem. and first off, its not my car. its my sister. but i do all the maintenance and take care of it for here. so its mine, but i dont drive it......
anyways!
here is the problem. the car simply wont start. i would make a video, but im scared i will mess up the car because it might be an interference motor. so i will try to be as descriptive as possible! so the car sounds like,"vvvvv...chew chew chew chew..." hope that helps! let me know what is might be. i hope its not the chain. or so im led to believe after doing some research! thanks!!

and **** on me... its an 06! not 03.... fail already! =D

Does the battery have a charge? Have you tested it and/or tried jumping it?

Is your fuel pump working? When you first turn the key to the ON position you should hear it click and make a little fluid moving noise to indicate it's working.

Have you checked the spark plugs to make sure they're firing?

As far as the engine it is an interference engine, however assuming the car hasn't been significantly modified the chain should be fine until around 200k miles.
