    OK. Got the car to run.
    Here's what I did:

    Checked coil and fuel pump for 12v, got nothing. So I connected the coil and fuel pump to a 12v source and started it. It fired!

    What relay would cause the fuel pump and coil not to work with the ignition switched on?

      The main relay.
      Drivers side under the black cover. The white relay is your guy.

      You should be able to hear it click when you turn the ignition to the "on" position.

        Power to the coil and fuel pump relay is from the ignition switch via C101. I'd guess that your problem is on the body side of C101.

        The main rely supplies power to the DME. Apparently that is okay since the engine started with the coil and fuel pump hot wired.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          and since you checked the relays already this is probly the problem. unhook the connector and look for any evidence of burned up wires.

            Put all of the relays back and tried just connecting the coil to a 12v source. That worked.
            Went for a drive, all seemed to be good.

            Think it's safe to say that the wire from the ignition switch to the coil is my problem?
