Walt,
The electrical plug has a rubber cover protecting the wires. Remove the rubber protector and inspect the wire color. It's good to have the colored plugs but don't rely on it 100%. It might have been replaced or fixed before, who knows. If you have not labeled the plugs when you removed them earlier, it would be prudent to use some common sense and inspect the wires.
I had a hard time troubleshooting the fuel pump with a newly rebuilt engine wire harness. The engine harness had all the right colored plugs and with the correct labels. But one misplaced wire for the AFS (air flow sensor) in a new wire harness was the culprit. Not only you need the right colored wires but the actual connection is critical. Connect the brown wire at the wrong side, and it won't start.
Test the continuity of the terminal #85 (FP relay socket) and if it does not open or break the circuit after lifting the AFS (air flow sensor) plate, you have located the problem. Keep us posted.
