Measure actual battery voltage at the batt terminals- is there a voltage drop at the FP relay?
Just thinking you may have poor connections between the battery and FP relay so that you get way less than 11.67v under load. Easy to eliminate as a potential source of problems.
2.If the relay did not click when you jumpered it:
1. relay is defective,or
2. connected wrong terminals
3. Remove relay and test. New relay is $10 :K.A.E. 2.408.120 ? 99661510100 For $10 at this stage why not just fit a new one?
See Pelican's excellent info: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/22-FUEL-Fuel_Pump/images_med/Pic2.jpg
4. If you know what you are doing, connect FP direct to battery with a fused jumper cable.Polarity !

I didn't jump the relay I mean I jumped it at the box. It is a new relay. That's the first thing I did. The battery could be drained from me trying to start it so much.

Anything more than 9v 'should' operate the relay but why try? Just charge the battery to eliminate that problem. If you are measuring 11.67v with no load, it may be misleading because poor connections will show massive voltage drop when you draw power.
Did you bench test & compare the new & old relay?

How would I benchtest relay?

If you bought a new one, move on to the next possible issue. That's a done deal.

Make sure the part number on your new relay is correct.If not, test the old relay and if good use it.
K.A.E. 2.408.120 or generic alternative verify for your yr.
