did you check for spark or fuel pressure?

only need a few things for a running engine -

compression
spark
fuel pressure
ignition timing

pull a sparkplug out and lay it on a shock tower bolt so the plug is grounded and crank the engine.

this may be obvious, but did you check the inertia switch? Has the car ran since the pump was replaced? Trying re-setting the inertia switch.
