Next I would use a multimeter or test light, and see where along the fuel pump circuit the voltage stops. You can find diagrams here:

I did find a blown fuse, dome light but it made no change, i found that if igo back and forth with the key i eventually get the hum from the fuel pump and the fuel gage activates, when i get that iturn the key to start and it starts right up and runs fine. Whats going on here?, ignition switch?

Who knows. More troubleshooting required.

At least hook up a light to the pump and see if it comes on every time.

You already said the pump isn't coming on. I'm suggesting putting a light there. If the light comes on and the pump does not, then you've isolated the problem. It's called troubleshooting.
