The fuel pump isn't supposed to run in the I(acc) possition. Does it run for 2 seconds when turned to the II(on) position? Do you have any codes? Does the CEL come on for 2 seconds and then go out?

The main relay could be the cause of the fuel problem but not the no spark problem. What year and model are you working on? When you turn the ignition switch to the on possition, does the CEL come on for two seconds and go out?

CEL = Check Engine Light. Sparks usually result in blown fuses.

Are any codes stored? If not, check your fuses again.
