At the fuel pump harness in the back by the tank do you have power to the gray wire while cranking?

Ok I put power directly to the grey wire and the fuel pump did start working, so I closed the fuel line and directly jumped I with a key on power lead. It tried alittle to start but couldnt com[pletly turn over. Also my battery is going dead really fast I just got it of a charging machine 2 hours ago and it is already dead.

Charge the battery and retest the grey wire for power while cranking. The battery might be too dead to have the power to show on the grey wire while cranking.

I had to pawn my computer to finish getting my car fixed. So this is where I am at, I determined that the fuel pump does work but the rely doesnt I hot wired the fuel pump and the throttle body and it will turn over but not stay running. I am going to buy and rebuilt computer and a fuel pump realy. No this car is very old with alot of gerry rigging. My question is that there 'll be a message on the back of the computer that any resistance lesser than 20 ohms will destroy the new computer. How do I prevent this from happining as I dont understand ohms or electrical principals yet?
