1994 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I am not getting any fuel to the fuel rail. I thought was the fuel pump because when I would turn the key I would not hear the fuel pump kick on. I took the fuel pump out and ran it direct and it worked. so I put it back in and checked it with a meter and it was only reading 7 volts. I put a new fuel pump it in and it still would not work. also when I had the fuel pump running direct I still didn't have any fuel comming up to the fuel rail itself. so if any one has an idea what i can check or need to replace that would be great. I am really close to putting a rag in the tank and setting it on fire.

check the fuel pressure at the tank side of the fuel filter
check the fuel cut off switch located on the pass side kickpanel.when you had pump out was sending unit ok and in fuel.
