Car won't start?

So about a month ago I took my notch out for a drive and it was running fine except for having to jump it due to a dead battery. Today I went to start it up and it wouldn't even kick over the starter. After a few tries I noticed the fuel pump wasn't kicking on. I know the wiring in this car was from a 4 cylinder and is kinda butchered, so how can I tell if the fuel pump is bad?

I replace the battery terminal cables, starter cable, fuses, fuel pump relay and BATTERY (which is charged) and the car ran good till now. Where should I start?
 
How recently were the parts replaced? If you turn on the headlights, do they come on bright and stay on?

Otherwise, you might have a parasitic draw that's wiping out a previously-charged battery.

You could also have a bad battery connection.

Good luck.
