The fuel pump isn't supposed to run if the key is in the 'ON' position unless the engine is running (AFM fuel cut switch turns off). This is a safety feature. A Haynes manual or the FSM (free to download) will go over testing the fuel system. Will the engine ever start? Try the flooding clearing procedure. Pull the 2 EGI fuses from under the hood, crank for 5-10 seconds, replace the fuses and try to start it.
