Fuel pump is not getting power. I've checked the fuse and switched relays. Checked the pump by connecting to battery pump working great. No power with key on or while cranking at gray wire going to pump.

When you say you check the relay, how did you do that? We need to check and see if the PCM is grounding the relay. If it is not then that is the issue. If the PCM is grounding the relay and the relay has been swapped or replaced then you have a wiring issue.

Take a look at the wiring diagram and remove the relay. Then put your test light on battery positive and then touch the probe to the B1 position of the relay and turn the key on. Does the test light come on? If not, the PCM is not grounding the relay. If it does then the relay or the wire to the pump is the issue.

Let me know what questions you have. Thanks
