If you use a jumper lead to connect the fuel pump relay pins 30 & 87 (6 and 2) on the socket the pump should run continuously, if the car still doesn't star it will point to a different problem. You should hear the fuel hissing through the pressure regulator in the injector rail and near the wheel arch under the fuel filler.

I'm going to have another look under the inlet manifold tomorrow to see if I can locate the CPS connector, the CPS produces pulses around 0.5v if it's working.
