Yeah forgot too say I did check the fuse & it was good. All so checked the motronic fuses & the injector fuse & they were good as well.
 It's just that after cranking & cranking while pressing on the gas pedal I would have smelt fuel but didn't. So that's when I swapped another fuel pump relay. When that didn't work I used a jumper wire to bridge the 2 big spade holes & still nothing. 
 I suppose I could crack the feed line to the fuel rail & actuate the fuel pump too c if fuel comes out if the line..... But I'm just leaning toward the pump is bad no matter what other tests I run.....

 Thanx
