Have you checked for power at the F/P relay terminals? With the key on, check for power at both terminals that are switched by the relay (usually, you can look at the diagram on the relay to figure this out - the ones with the switch arm are the ones to check, not the ones with the coil between them). If you have power at one of these terminals, as you should, you can try jumpering between these two terminals to see if the fuel pump will run. If it does, it's a relay or relay control circuit problem. If it does not run, then there's a problem in the wiring to the fuel pump (or the F/P itself). If you don't get any power at the terminals, then there's a problem in the wiring or a bad fuse or fusible link.

Other things: Did you check that the fuses and connectors are dry and clean? Is your battery fully charged?
