The relay your PO was likely talking about is the DME relay and is located under the driver seat. Our host sells them and most of us carry a spare in the glove box. You can try to tap on the relay and see if you have any luck. Basically you need three things to make an engine run:
1) Spark
2) Fuel
3) Compression
You are missing one of these items, obviously.
As for the fuel pump, it will only operate when the DME gets a signal from the crankshaft position/speed sensors. Over time the sensor leads become brittle and the signal can be lost. Then there's the DME (the brain). I had some significant DME issues and had to have it rebuilt.
Great cars, enjoy!!
