Car shut off and wont start

Started my fd this morning and let it warm up and after 30 seconds I noticed the Rpms drop and the car shut off and I couldn't start afterwards, checked the battery and it is fine, but I can't hear the stock fuel pump run. Could it possibly a bad fuel pump or injectors?

Thanks ill try to be more specific I'm new to the Site and rotaries. So I pulled fuel pump and tested it and it delivers fuel to injectors now when I crank it over the motor shakes really hard and I see blue smoke coming under the engine... Could the injectors be flooded and turbos be shot ?

I'd go ahead and start off by doing a deflood procedure,just to clean the plugs and engine of fuel.(roll engine over with NO spark,NO FUEL,plugs out about 20 seconds).
Then put the plugs back in,hook up spark and fuel and start it up again.
It sounds real Soggy..

Turbos and injectors cannot go "just like that"..Most likely a lot of unburnt fuel.

If you can give the engine a "once over" and inspect the fuel lines,and see if there are any external leaks from ON or below the engine/car.

would be enough to just take out the fuel feed line ? I've taken out the plugs and about to deflood the motor but I'm having trouble with the fuel lines I'm not to sure where to take it out
