Default Car wont start and fuel pump doesnt prime!

I just put my stock intake manifold back on b/c i am taking my car to the dealer and dont want anything that they could complain about.

I finished and went to start the car but when i turn the key the fuel pump doesnt kick on. And car just turns over. I know it has something to do with the fuel pump because its obviously not primeing.

If anyone could help with some advice as what to look for to correct this or anything that could help i would appreciate it.

I also was thinking it could be the ground on the manifold so i moved it to the valve cover and still nothing.

I also swapped the fuel pump relay and it still didnt work. Anyone one with any answers please HELP!

I tried to test for voltage to the pump plug and it came up with battery voltage even with the relay out? Can this happen?

This is the DVOM i am using.

Ok so i finally figured it out. had to check voltage between ground and the fuel pump 5p connector number 5 (yellow/blue wire) and there wasnt battery voltage. So i had to tke the relay out and jump the 5p relay connector number 1 and 2 (blk/yellow and yellow/blue) then turn to on position and check for voltage again. It had battery voltage which means my relay is bad.

Atleast i finally figured it out. That **** was bugging the **** out of me. NOW anyone know where to get a fuel pump relay? lol
