I had VATS tuned out of the PCM. The fuel pump still won't turn on when the key is turned. I am at a total loss now.

Are there any variations in wiring from v6 to v8 cars?

There is a big purple wire that runs to the pcm. That's the ignition wire. Scrape off some of the insulation and jump that wire to the battery. The car should crank...
