If suspect a fuel issue, use a gage and check fuel pressure. If no pressure, check voltage and ground at the pump, engine cranking. Are there any applicable trouble codes? Have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs.

If you can hear the fuel pump come on check the fuel pressure with a gauge if its within specs-start here

More likely a fault with the PGM-FI main relay. Have it checked for bad soldered joints. Resoldering the cirrcuit board should be sufficient.
