are you getting a spark? rule that out first, the relay should click then the pump should prime on ignition then fall silent, then it will make some noise when the car is running

disconnect the wiring from the fuel pump and connect the pump directly to a battery and the pump will buzz if its working, if that works then that leaves you with a relay, wiring or immobilser issue
