Default b16 cranks but no start, started fine earlier (no fuel pressure)

hey all i'm haveing a problem, well i started my b16 up again today to warm it up completely, ran fine.... well decided to hook up clutch cable and shift linkages go to start the car to move it finally, and no fuel pressure... checked all my connections and nothing is leaking and no fuses are blown..... what could it be??? i tried to listen for my fuel pump turning on but can't seem to hear it... unplugged my fuel pump under my back seat and plugged it back in still nothing....

here's what i have:
91 civic si
1st gen b16
aem fuel rail
skunk 2 intake manifold
b&m fpr and gauge ( not sure where fpr should be set at it's all the way at the top)
act clutch hasport mounts.....

everything is done right i can't understand this... could my pump be shot???? no cel's either.

sounds like your pump is not forcing any fuel into to the fuel rail with no fuel pressure.

try taking out your spark plugs and spark plug wires, and try cranking, and see if you smell any gas inside the combustion chambers -- i doubt fuel is being delivered though.

sounds like your fuel pump went out.

Did you check the ground from your engine wireharness to the thermostat housing. If that isn't tight, the fuel pump won't prime.
