Fuel pump not priming

I have a 1989 Camaro Rs with the 2.8 and it was running fine but now it won’t start and I don’t hear the fuel pump prime and I’ve replaced the relay and I tested the pump with direct power and the pump is fine.

Re: Fuel pump not priming

Does the pump relay actuate when the ignition is first turned on or when the engine is cranked?

I’m assuming that fuze is the one on the passenger side but I see your evap can but on mine the evap is on the drivers side while the battery is on the passenger side. Is my car just weird and swapped?
