If it's similar to my Xantiae, there could be two reasons:
- the blower electric motor brushes need to be replaced
- the ignition key "thing" under the steering wheel (sorry, I cannot
remember the English name, the cylinder where you introduce the key), which
is what switches on and off the blower, don't make contact anymore. It needs
a replacement.

There is an electrovalve embedded into the pump that closes when is not
feeded (if I remember correctly), so the fuel don't arrive to the injectors.
Either the electrovalve is defective, or you have an electric problem
somewhere. Maybe it's related to the ignition key cylinder "thing".

Hmmm, don't be afraid of that, it's almost a Peugeot in disguise. I invite
you to try someday the joys of XM or Xantia ownerhood.
