Default Changed Main Relay 91 CRX will not start

So I swap my Blown motor out of my 91 crx and the car wont start now. So I did a search and found out that I need to check the main relay. Well I Bought a New relay. Installed it today. And Now I have no sound coming from the fuel pump or Fuel Pressure. Is there any other Fuse's I need to look for?

what you can do is.. check the fuel pump at self to see if it pumps, also you can check the fuse.. see if anything there is blow. common one is the alternate solenoid. mostly likely if you dont hear the fuel pump start then your car will not start.. so solve that problem first.

Ok that battery is dead. but I jump it off every time . Now all the grounds are Connected. The Check engine light comes on as I turn the key. Then you will hear the Beeping noise untill the key is turned forward. Now i unhooked the fuel line and turned the key forward and there is NO fuel Pressure.

ok.. now you have to give the pump 12v directly from the battery to see if it works. if it does then there is something wrong w/ the wiring between the main relay and the fuel pump.
