If you're sure the main relay is good, it's probably the ECU. The ECU turns the fuel pump on and off through the main relay.
When you turn the key on but don't crank, the check engine light should come on for 2 seconds and then go out. If it stays on, that's a sign that either the main relay or ECU is not working. In case the light stays on, you can try leaving the key on for several minutes to see if it ever goes out. If the light goes out eventually and then you can start, it's almost certainly a bad ECU.
Also check the ECU ground wires (on the thermostat housing near the starter under the hood.)
