1983 Cadillac Deville Digital Fuel Injection Problems

I have got a 1983 Cadillac Coupe Deville and I am having trouble with the fuel pump. when i go to start the car it really wants to turn over, but the fuel pump won't turn pump gas to the engine. But if i put gas in the carberator then it will try to run off the gas i put in the carbirator.
we have gotten it once to run off the gas i put in the carbirator. i am debating if it is the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, or a blown or missing fuse. the problem comes, because i don't know which relay is which. can someone please give me some suggestions on this subject?

do a fuel pressure check. in most cases, it is the fuel pump itself that has failed.
