fuel pump not kicking on

i just got the motor back in my ej hatch, and for some reason the fuel pump isn't kicking on. i pulled the fuel line off to make sure that was why it wasn't starting, and its bone dry. i checked the main relay and grounds, and they seem to be fine. im stumped. is there anything i could be overlooking?

what did you do to "check" the main relay?

the main relay is basically the power for the fuel pump.. so if the main relay works perfectly (you checked the output to the fuel pump with a VOM, right?) than all you have left to check is the wiring to the pump and the actual pump.
