relax.. looking at everything all at once is a sure way to notfind anything.

No check engine light when contact is on means the ECU isnt working.
At least in my experience it's the ECU. Check ALL the fuses, including those big ones on the battery clamps.

Buzzing relay...dont know about that.. sounds like you might have a short or wrongly connected wire.

Fuelpump: loosen the banjo bolt on the fuelrail, give it a short blip of the startmotor. This is our very own JesseP's expensive-fountain method of checking fuelpump operation (need I say more?). Do watch out with open fire though!.

I did a post once with pictures explaining the check engine connectors. Do a search, you'll find it no doubt.
It's a loose round yellow connector with 2 contacts, on the firewall behind the intake plenum. You need to have the contacts connected for diagnostics, and when adjusting the distributor (otherwise you haveto set it around the 14 degrees advance mark and hope the ecu hasnt corrected anything).

Distributor: it's normal for it to turn a tiny bit when you insert it.. it would still run even if it is a tooth too far one way or the other.

Just remember the only 3 things that matter for the engine to run:
FUEL
AIR
SPARK

Check that you have all three, although air is never really the problem now is it.
