If it fires on starting fluid or brake kleen, then you know its fuel  
related.  Assuming you have injector pulse, just pull the feed to the rail  and 
point 
it towards a container to catch the gas.  Have someone crank the  engine 
while obseving the line.  Should be a pretty strong stream going  into the 
container.  If its ok, try pinching the end of the line like a  garden hose and 
see 
if the pump will build any pressure.
 
Generally when a pump fails, it either can't build pressure or it just  can't 
flow enough fuel.  If you have a no start issue and everything points  to the 
pump, it should be pretty obvious when you pull the line going to the  rail.

Ok,  so the car has spark. I've measured a 12v at the fuel pump connector on
the  red/blue wire for ~2 seconds when the key is turned on and constant  when
cranking.  Constant ground on the solid black wire and the black  and red
wire.  Brown/black show open when the key is on and measure  ~50ohms when the
key is off; I guess this is a relay somewhere.  I  don't have a schematic on
hand.  

Gut says bad fuel pump. It  doesn't cycle when the key is turned on and it
seems to be getting power.  Tapping it does nothing.  Any thoughts?

If anyone has a schematic,  that'd be helpful as  well.
