thats the thing not got too much money at mo, when we put a live feed to the wire under the seat we hear the fuel pump working, so if its working its gotta be the ecu surely not telling it to work??

check the fuel cut off switch hasnt popped itself some how. or did it have an immobiliser on the car when they burnt out?usually these are on the fuel pump system as well,worth a look.
good luck
