I looked at the schematic of my bently manual. If the ECU wants to turn on the fuel pump it grounds the terminal #3, which is connected to 85 of the relay, and therefore the relay is activated. The pump should be buzzing. Also, this terminal #3 also grounds all 4 injectors together with the pump relay. If the ECU can not ground the #3 terminal, not only the pump won't buzz, all injectors won't feed engin gas either. Check the big ECU connector for dirty/oxidized contacts, especially the #3 pin. In case the ECU is indeed not activating the pump relay and all 4 injectors then you have a real problem now. You may want to open up the ECU box and trace the #3 pin wire into the box. If the wire is driven by a transistor, instead of an IC, then it's likely the transistor has been over loaded/heated and determined to quit. If true then replacing the transistor is likely to fix all. There should be a 1 - 2 second buzz from the fuel pump after turning on the ignition switch (to the 1st stop, not cranking engine yet). This is a quick check of the fuel pump operation.
