200 Won't Start

[apowell@ezlink.com]

I can use some quick ideas, friends.

Tonight I drove the 1990 200 to pick up the kids - parked it and then 
decided to move it across the lot to another spot - and it would not 
start.

It cranks fine, but no start.  I've pulled the coil wire at the coil and 
then one plug wire at the distributor. cap, and I do have spark all the 
way through to the plugs.  That makes fuel the likely culprit.

I changed the fuel pump about 15K miles ago and fuel filter about 
10K miles ago, and the car has been running OK.  When I turn the 
ignition on trying to start the car, I do NOT hear the fuel pump run.  
However, at this point I don't remember whether I usually hear the 
fuel pump run when the key is turned on.  The fuel pump fuse is OK -
 I checked it.  I don't have a quick check for the fuel pump relay, but 
was considering putting a fuse in the slots provided on top of the 
relay as per the diagnostic for the early series cars.  Evidently this 
runs the pump as long as the fuse is in place...which might be a fast 
way to find out if that's the problem.

Some questions;

1)  Any hot ideas?
2)  Should I be hearing the fuel pump run when the ignition is on?
3)  How does inserting a fuse in the fuel pump relay sound as an 
idea to try?

Thanks for any (helpful) contributions!
