First, check the easy things.

0. Are you SURE, absolutely SURE, you have gasoline in the tank?

1. Is the fuel pump fuse OK? If not, you need to investigate WHY it blew before replacing.

2. If the fuse is OK, check the fuel pump relay. In a 95, you can swap it with a similar, known good relay from the relay box. You could also remove the cover of the relay and watch to see if it is 'pulling in' to close the contacts. Also, inspect the contacts for corrosion or pitting. Replace the relay if this is the case.

3. Get underneath and see if you can hear the fuel pump running when it's supposed to be (a few seconds before/during cranking). If not, check the connectors, wiring and so forth leading to the pump.

4. If you've gotten to this point, it's likely your fuel pump needs replacement. To check this, you can connect a pressure gage to the test port on the fuel rail and see if the pump is meeting specs. A more dangerous way to check is to release the fuel line feeding the injector rail and place it in a glass container (Mason Jar?) SECURELY, and while an assistant cranks it over to run the fuel pump, see if fuel is being supplied. If not, brace yourself for an expensive replacement part. If so, you may have a problem with your PCM or the wiring to the injectors. This is less likely.
