I'd really double-check whether the fuel pump is running. What I did was pull up the back seat bottom cushions and listened close while someone else turn the key to "on". It should run for a second or two. If it doesn't or you're in doubt, there's a round cover over the pump area (can't remember if it's under carpet or not), you can pry it out with a flat-blade screwdriver. With that out, try the test again. It'll be obvious whether it's running or not. If it doesn't run, you can pull the electrical connection off and run 12 volts directly to the pump to see if it runs, ergo for some reason it's not getting power. I replaced the pump in mine a few months ago with the insert (as opposed to the full assembly), piece of cake and I'm no genius.
