I'm not familiar with your model, but as I understand it, there are two relays, a system relay and the fuel pump relay. The first should click when you turn the key to II, but the pump relay should click when you start cranking. So you might want to jump the pump fuses to see if the car will run with the pumps going (with the fuel pump relay bypassed). Other likely culprit at this point is the crank position sensor, as mentioned. And finally, there's the ECU, which I believe has been a problem for that year in the way it grounds the fuel pump relat. You might want to do a search here with the number on your ECU to learn more.
