Jonah is on the right track. One thing you can do is to listen when you first turn the key to the on position. The trick is that you need to do it after the car has set for a while so the pressure has dropped in the fuel line.
Make sure the fan and radio are off. Turn the key to on (run) position- NOT to start.
Listen for a hum coming from the back of the car. If it stops after 5 or so seconds, the fuel system has pressure. If it doesn't him, or the hum doesn't stop, something else is wrong.
If it doesn't hum, the the fuel pump is probably bad, since you replaced the relay already.
If it doesn't stop humming, it is likely the fuel 'sock' Jonah mentioned is plugged and fuel can't get through.
If it hums for a few seconds, the stops, but the engine still won't start, I would look to see if there is a fuel filter outside the tank. The 'sock' is a pre-filter to keep big chunks for dirt an rust from getting into the system.
I hope that helps.
