Default 97 hatch not starting

ok so my hatch with a b16 swap is not starting. I change my thermostat when the housing broke so the car hasn't moved in a weeks time (while im waiting for the part) I need to move the car about 10 feet and the car does not start. It cranks normal so that means that the starter and battery are fine just does not turn over. Now I do not hear the fuel pump turning on so should I replace the pump or start with the relay first? also when the key is in the on position all lights come on the dash EXCEPT the CEL with flickers dimly anybody know what this means?
Thanks

The crucial G101 ground attaches to the thermostat housing. If it is disconnected, the engine will not start.
