Default URGENT: Soild CEL, No hum from fuel pump, main relay good....i'm stumped

Okay here is the deal, I was driving home the other night on the freeway, just driving at 70ish and all of a sudden my car died. Soild CEL. Turn the key half way on and there is no fuel pump whirrel sound. So I think the pump was jacked. Well, I pulled the pump and replaced it with one that I know is good. Still nothing. Turn the key on and the CEL on the cluster stays on and there is no sound from the fuel pump.

So I change the main relay with one I know is good (pulled from a running car) and still the same thing.

90 CRX si
b18a1
pr4 ecu

When i hook up the fuel pump directly to a battery it will make the whirrel sound so I know it's good.

It is really rather urgent, I'm driving my other car right now and the ****** smokes hard. So I'd like to get this one done.

Check the fuses under the hood. You might have blown the main relay fuse. HTH

All of the under hood fuses are good.

Your ECU is dead... When it does the CEL will remain solid.

I pushed my car about a mile because of that fuse..

It will blow if the alternator is overcharging for one thing...

Also Fuse #14 powers the following:

Alternator (voltage regulator)
Emission control solenoid valves
PGM-FI main relay
PGM-FI ECU (IG1)
FUEL PUMP
ELD=eletronic load detector
EACV=electronic air control valve
