Thanks for the reply 'arry. I did a direct connect from the battery to the fuel pump and it does start and run. The fuel pump relay on this thing is a little confusing as the mechanics book says that the relay goes into slot "G" but the fuse/relay case cover says that "G" is for the fog lamps? Thing is, there are no fog lamps on this car and I'm not sure why it's labeled this way??? I checked the fuse and it's not blown, so that's ok. I'll try the jumping of pins 15 and 87 as you suggested and see what happens there. Thanks again for the reply.
