I don't know what testing you have done? When you first turn on the key, no crank, can you hear the pump run for a second? Engine cranking, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure? Engine cranking, do you have fuel injector pulse? The fuel pump and fuel injector use the same fuse. It's possible your ignition module has a problem, I can't be positive, it just depends on your testing.
