Fix the wiring between the output pin of the relay connector and the fuel pump. You can use switchable power from the rear lights to confirm the wiring fault. Just make a jumper from the rear lights + line to the + side of the pump. See if it runs.

One important question that I forgot to ask. Do you have an immobilzer installed in this 944. It will be an after market system. If this system fails it will take out the earth for the DME relay and denies the fuel pump of power.

PS: This problem is not uncommon either.
