      The computer.

        Also [better] known as the ECU, it's the Bosch Motronic computer that controls most of the essential functions of your car. It's located inside and above the glovebox, inside the dash.

            -Open your hood and flip the key to "on" you should hear an odd clicky-buzzing noise from the fuel pump relay.

              Check for power and ground at the DME.

                Fuel pump has power but does not switch on. Do you know which wires are the power and the ground for the dme?

                  Dead fuel pump? You've checked power at the pump, not just to the fuse right? If you have power at the pump, then it must be within the pump. You said there was no spark either.........

                      First off, give the tank above the fuel pump a few good whacks, then try to start it. If it starts, you need a fuel pump. Kind of a weird coincedence for it to go just after you got jumped though..

                      As for checking for power at the DME...
                      Check for power and ground at your main relay. If you don't have power there, you have a broken wire somewhere between the relay and the battery or ground. If you DO have power there, check for power and ground at the DME (you should be able to find a pin-out diagram online somewhere). If you don't have power there, you have a break in the wiring between the main relay and the DME, or a faulty ground.
