So you don't know if you have voltage at the pump.  It could be seized.

Maybe I just have rotten luck, but any car I have ever worked on that sat
for a long time has needed fuel pumps, fuel tank cleaned, injectors, brake
work, etc...

So, you should get a voltmeter and test for voltage.

Yes, sorry I didn't clarify. I tested for power at the fuel pump while my
wife turned the key as there was no noise or vibrations coming from fuel
pump when key was turned.

When you first turn on the key, do you hear (listen for it) the fuel pump
run for a couple of seconds? After that couple of seconds, voltage to the
pump is shut off until you start cranking the engine. Pulses from the Hall
sender in the distributor tell the ECU that the engine is turning which
will, in turn, pulse the pump.?

Like I said, except for that first couple of seconds, there will be no
voltage at the pump unless the engine is turning.?

fires right up. Checked for voltage on the fuel pump and found nothing.
Replaced the fuel pump relay and the other one beside it and still nothing.
Had a spare ecu in the closet so I replaced that too figuring it may of
gotten damaged while charging the battery but again nothing. Ran out of
daylight and ideas. Anyone know what to try next??
