First check the fuel pump +12 connector (single connector near the
vapor-recovery vacuum valve at front-right.  If it's plugged in and
you have +12 there for a couple seconds when you turn the ignition
on, then the problem is that wire/connector, the connections at the
pump, the pump itself and the ground wire to the frame rail.  Should
have +12 all the way to the pump, ~0 from pump to ground terminal.

Otherwise it's an ECU relay/fuel pump relay sort of thing, and I'm
not going to sort out the schematics until I'm sure you need it.
