There is the possibility the Oil Pressure switch either is bad or disconected.
Real PITA. Its back by the distributor towards the drivers side. Its there to stop the motor in the event of an oil pressure problem.

The pump works when you jumper it right?

There is also a quick disconect near the underhood fuse for the ECM/Fuel pump.
You can unplug that and plug it back in and it should reprime the fuel system.

Good luck
