Check whether hood fuse 31 or dash fuse 24 or 18 is blown. Also check whether the G101 ground attached to the thermostat housing is loose or corroded.

Remove the ground, sand it to a shiny metallic sheen, tighten up.

Ok thanks for all that, but all my fuse r good.. And I sand down that ground wire n still no gas pressure.. I'm just gonna replace the fuel pump n c if that works.. When I turn on the key I don't hear the pump priming or anything.. Isn't there like a click kinda noise when u turn the key to the on position then the cel will shut off?? That must b the main relay??
