Default need help, getting no fuel

after i replaced the valve cover gaskets, intake, and afew 0-rings on the injectors and now the car wont start, i checked my fuse, checked all my wiring to be safe but im not getting any fuel to the rail, is it my luck that the fuel pump went on me? or did i **** it up by taking the fuse out, startin it for a second to relieve fuel pressure, clogged filter? i am deaf so i cant hear the fuel pump kicking over so i do have a friend coming over later to help me with this, but any idea where else to look at? and if i do have to replace the pump, do i have to drop the fuel tank?

No need to drop fuel tank lift the carpet up in the trunk and cut a hole in the piece above the tank, so simple to do this and it will be done in 20 minutes or less... and saves so mush hassle.

Try the banging on the gas tank trick with the keys on and see if you can get it started again. Your tanks metal so you can't hurt anything trying.

check or swap the relay switch for the fuel pump.I wouldn't cut any holes in the body ,what if you cut into the tank.you don't want a hole where water can get into the car..check for a fuel pump reset switch.

hey posted earlier to this, umm its about in the middle just measure it up from side to side in the trunk, I've watched my mechanic do it to 3 of my t/a's at the same area and it saves so much time. I mean if you don't hit that exact area you can always cut a little more, and nobody would know about it b.c its all covered up.
