Default HELP: car wont start

my cousin has a mini-me (b7 with z6 head).
he said the fuel pump is dead, so we bought a new one and it still dont work!
he wants to know where the fuel pump fuse/relay is....
searching and searching, i can only conclude that there isn't one!
that the only fuse is the MAIN RELAY!
am i right or are we just stupid?

ok, then we want to test the spark, but dont know how.
ok, is there a way to test the dizzy?
ok, if we wire the fuel pump directly with a 12v battery, will it turn on? will the car run then?

sorry guys, im not a honda guy.
any other ideas what might be wrong?

No fuel: Check whether hood fuse 31 and dash fuses 18 and 24 are blown. The main relay is located on the left side under the dash.

Check for spark: Buy a spare spark plug ($2-3). Pull a plug wire and insert the spare plug into the end. Ground the threads of the plug against the metallic vavle cover while a buddy cranks the engine. Spark should be bright white.

thanks dude,
i did read it somewhere telling be to check those fuses too, had to double
check cause they wern't all straight answers.
thanks for the spark test stuff, also read that somewhere, but im guessing you type like you already did it before.

one more thing that i want to know.
is there a such thing as a fuel pump fuse? by this, i dont mean the main relay, just a seperate fuse for the fuel pump?
sorry, noob here

In a sense, all three main relay fuses are fuel pump fuses. But that's it.
