ok, I would jump the relay out and see if it starts that way, maybe you are losing..

signal to the pump under cranking. Any other weird things going on? Did you check your ignition switch?

I dont know what I did but the car started...

I hit the fuel pump with a screw driver like one of you said, I disconnected the battery for around 30 mins, and then I just started hitting everything in sight and sure enough it started. Turned it off and it started back up with no problem.

I was able to drive it to a friends house so I will be able to look at it some more when I have time. I was about to bite the bullet and have it towed, luckily I didn't. Thanks for everyones help.

I had forgot what its like to own a 90, love hate.
