Welcome to the forum. I'd check the circuits at the fuel pump relay. Orange wire is voltage for load/switch side of relay, hot all the time. Voltage to the coil side of relay, green wire with white tracer, comes from the pcm. Engine cranking, if no rpm signal, may not be any voltage on that wire. Use a digital voltmeter to check for voltage.
