Get a service manual and look at the wire/power schematics. Where did you check for power? Did you check the correct side of the fuse? I think you know you need to get power to the fuel pump before the fuel pump can work. Using the schematics you can trace back the wires/relays and find out where the power is disappearing....

I heard I would have to rewire the connection..but i dont even no where to start with something like this. help!
See above. If you're not good with the electrical systems then find someone who is or take it in for professional help. There's a reason electrical problems are so expensive to fix/repair....because it takes a lot of understanding and a lot of time to diagnose.

I have a 98 prelude. Sorry.

I used a tester light. i checked bother fuel pump fuse slots. Both did not light up. I checked another fuse slot and it did light up. Is there a site online where I can find the service manual?

Go to www.spoonertuner.com/manuals.

Get the regular Service Manual as well as the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual. Notice the name next to each.
