99 9-3 engine turns, but doesn't start...

I think I noticed "the smell" under the hood (like burnt electric/hot electical smell). Also, I did not hear the DI cassettee "buzz" for 5 or so seconds when I removed the key. Sould I hear it even if the engine doesn't run? I'm betting on DI cassette failure. But one thing worries me. I didn't hear the fuel pump. I usually hear it when I turn the key. But nothing. Would I not hear it if I kept attemping to start the car? Or should I always hear it? I was not paying attention when I first attempted to start. So I can't tell you if it ran when I first went to start it.
Also, I read a post about the key. Could there be something wrong with my key or chip? I am gonna try my spare anyway.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help!
