I think the 96 is OBD1, and if it is, I can most likely provide you with the wiring diagrams - they'd be for a '92, but not much would have changed. Send me a PM if that's the case, I don't visit this forum too often.

If you don't hear the pump, you can test for power at the relay & fuse, they're easier to get to than the wiring to the pump. I would test these points with a multi-meter, you should get power on that line for a few seconds after turning your key to ON, this is done to build up the pressure in the rail for the injectors when you attempt to start it. You'll get this few seconds each time you go from OFF to ON. If you do get 12 volts showing when you turn the key to ON but don't hear the pump, then you'll need to check at the pump connector.
