Answer
Brandon,

The fuel pump relay is a on the second row above the fuses, the second relay from the left (number 2 space).

You should also check the fuel pump in the reservoir, (under the car infront of the right rear wheel), for power and ground.

A jumper wire between the two large contacts on the relay, should run the pump constantly, or at least give you power to the positive connection at the pump.

Good luck,

Paul
