Since your FI worked briefly I think we can assume that your brain is not 
fried. In that case, there are only a few things that will keep the fuel pump 
relay from turning on: no power to the brain, no ground to the brain, bad 
wiring to the fuel pump relay.

Check the twin wires that come into the LF corner of the engine 
compartment carrying power to the brain. They must BOTH be in good 
condition. Check the in-line connection at the front of the engine 
compartment to make sure that the signal from the brain to the FP relay is 
getting thru. Check the wiring around the main relay to make sure that power 
can get from there to both the brain and the FP relay.
