Default need quick help guys!

ok my car wont start and from the help i got i think it is a main relay problem...only thingis, i cant find the main relay. I know where it's supposed to be, but the plug is empty, no relay...so i guess wherever the fuel pump is wired to has been relocated. I know the relay contains two spots for ecu, and this car has hondata s200 so that also makes me think the fuel pump is somewhere else if the ecu was upgraded. I cannot find the relay containing the power to the fuel pump, also i checked power to the pump and there isn't any, but i'm having trouble tracing the wire to the pump...if anyone can be of assistance I would appreciate it, im going back out now to try and figure something out...thanks guys

Since this isa custom job, you'll have to guess where the guy who did the swap installed the relay. My guess would be somewhere near the ECU.

Edit: Also possible someone needed a main relay for their car, and quietly stole yours.

thanks a tonmk378 i really appreciate it. I found the relay, took it out, one of the two relays (the 4v one) looks like the copper wires are all fried and starting to come undone, plus the connection is closed on it. Hooked it back up and tested the continuity out and current out...very weak current coming from that relay, hardly any, by bypass i got the fuel pump to start up but it wouldn't stop so i stopped it. I guess i'm going to need a new relay, but does anyone know what might have caused this? If i put another relay in will it just happen again? I'm a novice so im mystified. Thanks!
