Default Fuel pump doesn't prime, Main relay?

First my car is a 90 CRX Si, B16A swap

The other day I was driving along the road when suddenly my car just died and wouldn't start again. The fuel pump doesn't prime anymore and I get no CEL's. I'm starting to think it's either the Fuel pump or the main relay.

To start out with the obvious I've already check my fuse box under the hood and there all good, checked all connections and reseated them. If a fuse was to blow under the dash which one would it be?

Is there a way to test out the Fuel pump out?

If it is the Main relay it's located in the drivers side kick panel and it held to the body with a 10mm right?

thanx in advance

My firend Angel ran into the same problem with his. Our quick fix till he feels like buying another relay. Since this perticular is Known for the retarded relay. Was to just take either a screw driver or something and smack the main relay till it clicked the fuel pump on and the car will start
