Crank, no start

[OLD BOB]

I made the mistake of buying a 4runner without checking the frame. The body was great and since I live in the west Texas desert I did not think about frame rust.
I just finished changing the frame and now the engine will not start. I can start it with starting fluid so I know that it is not electrical. It was running well prior to the swap. All fuses and the fuel pump relay are good. Good fuel pump (tried 2 different pump just to be sure) and found no power to pump. I can find no power to the relay either.
Possible something in the theft deterrent system.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
thanks, Robert

Sounds like you've had a tough time Robert! Have you tested the wiring back from the fuel pump for continuity? (Low ohms setting on a meter). Also might be worth checking the ground at the pump using the same method, back to the battery or main chassis ground.

Hopefully there is someone on here with TechStream who can look into the anti theft for you, I am an ocean away so can't help there!

Edit: I just saw you have no power to the relay either, I assume you mean the 'trigger' voltage for the relay from the ECU rather than the main power in/out to the pump, as that would suggest a simple fuse to me but you checked those already.
