Check to see if there is any power getting to the relay and fuel pump. Could be a faulty ignition switch. Just guessing here.

oo, that could be, cuz my ignition is broken, i have to use a screw driver to turn it on, and recently, it's been very difficult to actually turn it, and i gott push 2 small things in to allow me to turn it on... i didnt know if it was all connected

That may be the culprit.

Sure, If you need the ignition module to start the vehicle. It as well tells the pump to turn on.
