Need guidance on a '91 TQ 200 20v that won't start

If you have fuel spray, you have fuel pump operation, so I'd look to
electrical issues.  Review the stuff on Scott Mockry's resourceful website:

Have the Bentley manuals (set of 3 volumes) but they seem to discuss many
VW and Vag-Com tools I will never have access to.

Is there a troubleshooting guidebook that doesn't rely on special test
equipment to make progress in diagnosing a no-start problem?

My car has low miles (26k) and have owned it since new in 1991.  Recently I
went to start it to get the rust off the brakes and no-start, cranks
strong, but acts like it is not getting any fuel.  I changed the large fuel
filter in the engine compartment, pulled the spark plugs and noted they
were all dry.  I loosened the front banjo bolt on what looks like a fuel
rail above the fuel injectors on top of the engine and got fuel to spray
out.

Relevant fuse #13 is OK, so I ordered a new fuel pump relay since that
would be an easy to replace low cost possible fix.  In what other areas
should I look for a problem?  

Is access to the fuel pump beneath the spare tire plastic tub?

Can anyone make some suggestions on my next moves?  thanks in advance.
