Default Fuel Pump Problem

So yesterday morning got in my 1994 ex Coupe...went to the bank..no problems...replaced the ground for me amp...cleaned out the car...then a couple hours later try and start it..and it doesnt start...fuel pump doesnt turn on...check the clip going to the fuel pump and no power...checked all my fuses with a meter...and by hand...none blown...relay seems ok...if anyone can tell me or give me a diagram of the fuse box under my dash because i dont have the cover...or any insight on what went wrong on why im not getting power...checked the ECU fuse (15A) thats fine...i have CEL...just no power to my fuel pump...any suggestions?

Is the CEL ON? Is there spark at the plugs?

The main relay for the fuel pump is a common problem of 5th generation (92-95) Civics (see diagrams for testing). If the relay tests bad, then you can either replace or resolder it:
