Default my car won't start

the battery and starting system have plenty of power. i checked all my dash and hood fuses, and they're all fine. the engine won't start. i don't know what the problem is and i would appreciate some help. when the key is turned to II, my fuel pump doesn't prime. its supposed to make a sound, but my car doesn't.

again, help ?

the PGM-FI main relay? it will click on and off with the ignition switch, but the pump won't prime, so i thought it was still good since i hear it click. any other possibilities before swapping in my old pgmfi relay ?
