The fuel pump relay are whats known as tachometric. When you turn the ignition on it gets a switched feed from the ignition, and primes, then when you crank the car and its running, it senses the ignition pulses from the coil (also a safety measure to stop the pump when the engine stops incase for instance the car was in an accident), now this is another big give away, if the pump isnt running then theres no ignition pulse on the LT (Low tension) side, my money personally is on the dizzy, but theres a chance it could be the coil, or ignition ECU (silver one).

Its hard to hear the pump when your cranking, might we worth getting a right hand man to help. If theres no spark the pump won't be running either.

Is that understandable enough for you? I hope it is
