Default Fuel pump not getting power

I have a DB8(95-4dr gsr) integra and i've not been able to get the fuel pump to get power from the stock plug only through straight wire....so far i've checked all the fuses(under dash for main relay and under hood) and I thought the main relay was good cause I feel it click when I turn the key over but it won't get power to the pump, so I tried jumping pins 5 and 7 and the fuel pump got power so I replaced the relay and still no power anyone got any ideas?

check and see if you have power coming from the wire in the main relay....Like check the wire that goes from the relay to the pump...maybe the wire is burnt out.

Im going to do a slight snip to check for power going out from the relay, but I don't think the wire to the pump is burnt becausewhen I jumped pins 5 and 7 the fuel pump immediately turned on

try taking a look at that. It shows you how a main relay works. If everything checks out ,its probally something in the wiring.

Ya just a bit ago I looked at the diagram for the main relay and noticed pin 8 has to ground out for the fuel pump to receive power so I sliced the wire open and ran a wire off it to ground it to basically see if the relay was opening when grounded to get power to it and it was the fuel pump immediately turned on and off when I removed the ground so im assuming my problem is in my ground wire that runs to the ecu so it can control when it gets power or not? Or am I missing something..

Well I guess my next step is to remove my dash to follow the ground all the way to the ecu...

Happen to know where any diagrams might be or know if the ground from the relay (pin 7 that the ecu grounds to give power to the fuel pump) is a straight wire to the ecu?

you should be able to use your helms manual if you have one.....There is diagrams in the back...

Otherwise google is your friend.

But im pretty sure the main relay powers the-PUMP,ECU,and accc.

here this might help...

also....try using a aligator clip and clip it to the relay and then to the wire on the pump...If you click the key and it works, you have a dead wire......
