all fuses are ok? you can unbolt the fuel line going into the fuel filter on your firewall, take out the ECU fuse, and have a friend crank it over while catching the gas in a suitable container to make sure gas is getting to the fuel rail.
is this an intermittent problem? did the car just die on you while driving?

taking out the ecu fuse eliminates your ignition system, so no sparky while youve got open fuel lines under your hood.. obviously, for safety reasons.
If your pump was working fine before the swap, I really doubt thats the problem.

What engine and car are we dealing with here?

Check for fuel pump humm...if it doesn't then pull the backseat or cargo box and check for power at the fuel pump wiring. If you're getting between 10-12v then the pump is probably bad.

Fuel pump is not humming? Main relay is clicking? CEL light is flickering but no start? Themostat housing ground. If that is disconnected, no fuel pump and no start. If it is not that, pull out your main relay and test it.
