just died on me coming home from work one night - installed new plugs , wires , distributor cap , rotor , fuel filter , pcv valve , fuel pump , and fuel pressure regulator - no power to fuel pump when ignition switch on - i jumped power to the fuel pump and forced it to power on for a while - still wont fire up - turns over normally - first EFI relay checks fine - when i jump the contacts it engages the circuit opening relay - i can hear it clicking - can get my fingers on it behind the glove compartment - but havent been able to get it out yet - i am really stumped here - i am not a mechanic per se - but i was an electronics tech for like 14 years - any ideas ? thanks so much in advance !

In the check connector in engine compartment jumper the Fp to Batt this will power the pump if not check and test the EFI relay and the Circuit opening relay-also check the EFI fuse-BTW are you getting spark

not getting spark - stuck a screwdriver in a plug wire - held it up to the motor - turned it over - pulled distributor cap off - made sure rotor was turning - it was
