Does the starter do anything? Do you have igition on? Other cars needs to boost the fuel pump, if the car has been out of power for a while. I don't know if thats the case for a Toyota...

pull the fuel pipe off under the bonnet that feed fuel to the engine and place into a clear bottle and turn ignition on if fuel come out the pump is prime if not the pump will need to be primed some how to enable fuel to reach the engine

Because you've run the bettery totally flat you may need to replace the battery altogether.

This is because running a bat flat can affect its CCA (cold cranking ampage) - The ability of the battery to turn the starter.

Sorry read through again... take it the starter turns ok with the current bat?

Check fuel is getting to the engine by the above method.
