QUESTION: I just check the fuel pump for sound, but I do not hear anything coming from the pump.  I just came back from the auto parts store and bought a new fuel pump relay, still not getting any gas.

Answer
well what about fuel pump fuse? otr take the old relay and open it up you will see that it can be pushed togher manually to make a connection try that , if you have power, and ground  with the old realy opened up and in place see if it triggers if not look at all the fuses and grounds ,
