Amarin,
That was a very good idea to check the RSR. Turns out the ground wire was off the pin and the power wire came off the the pin when i took the RSR off of the bracket. I was SO stoked, problem solved!
I cleaned up the connectors and pins, checked that there was constant power at the red wire (there is) and pushed the connectors back on. Tried to start the engine but it was exactly the same - crank but no start. I then jumped the red wire to the IAC/injector wire - still crank but no start. Double checked that i could hear clicking from the fuel pump relay when key is turned on and off (i could).
Had my sister turn the key to ON while i listened down the fuel filler pipe with a hose to my ear -no sound from tank. Before when i applied power to the fuel pump wire i had heard a faint whiring sound, although back when everything was working i could hear the whiring sound from the drivers seat when i turned the key to on position.
Does this sound like a reasonable test?
Apply power directly to fuel pump, if i again hear it spinning, try to start car.

Thanks to eveyone for their help.
Ron
