    Still dead
    In short here is what I have done:
    Jumped the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump tested OK, pressure at the fuel rail.
    Checked all fuses.
    Checked the ECM relay.
    Cleaned and polished all of the ground connections that I could find.
    Checked all of the connections I could find on the wiring harness.
    Confirmed I had good ground circuits to the ECM.
    Confirmed I had a good ignition circuit to the ECM
    Confirmed I had a good battery circuit to the ECM.
    Confirmed the injectors are not firing.
    Jumped the check engine light to confirm the bulb is not dead.
    Still will not start, I can jump the fuel relay to get the pump to work. I do not have a check engine light with the key on and no fuel gauge with a 1/2 tank of fuel.

    ...
    Which relay are you referring to when you say ECM?

    Are you talking about the one in the manual's diagrams labeled "PCM Main Relay" in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment?

    If not, that's one possible culprit. Another would be the 40Amp EB18 "PCM" fuse in the same fuse/relay box.

    The PCM relay would be affecting the powertrain control module, the fuel pump relay, and the fuel injectors.
