Hey guys I need some help.

I got my 914 9 months ago. I traded it straight across for a car that a friend of mine wanted. The deal was we would both get each car running before the trade. The 914 needed a fuel pump and some tuning. It arrived running but needed a clutch and a master cylinder.

I got the clutch done and now the car won't start. I've got power to two of the pins at the fuel pump relay but no power down to the pump. I "think" the relay os clicking but need to get an extra pair of hands over here to crank is as I can't find my remote starter. If I understand correctly the ECU grounds the pump to make it run? If that's the case should I always have power at the pump with the key on? The car runs on starting fluid so the ignition is working fine.

Here's the rest of the story,(and yeah I feel stupid about this part). In my haste to button everything up I accidently plugged the 12 pin plug onto the relay board incorrectly. I plugged it in 1 pin off. Imagine if the #1 and 2 pins were plugged into 3 & 4 instead. I corrected that but just hope I didn't smoke something in the mean time. My dad also hooked the positive wire up to the negative side of the coil. ....That was good for a new set of points.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have the diagram of the relay board that was posted in another thread.
