"when I took the link out the connector didn't have a third prong. So is it supposed to be that way?" Yes my 84 200SX was wired with the 3rd wire because mine had factory fog-lamps.

"And what is the next step?" Fix the know bad connection you found at the fuel pump.

Also what is a baluster? IT is a part connected to the coil it is made of ceramic with a coiled wire inside, if the wire is broke it's bad. Some the ceramic and wire are exposed others are in a cad color box. Exact location in the engine bay on 280ZX I can't remember.

FYI crossing power like you did can create surges and ruin coils so if you have a spare like I always have around I'd recommend attaching that for now.

Would the broken fuel pump cause the ECU not to allow the ignition coil to send a spark? Where is a good place to get a new fuel pump? Nissan doesn't have any more and I hesitate to get one from a place like AutoZone, Advance Auto, or Pepboys. Blackdragonautomotive.com only has them for non turbo models. Also is there such a thing as a adjustable fuel pump incase I upgrade the car later on?

THe fuel pump not working should not affect the ECU. For a new pump Ebay could be a choice, or go online type in the manufacture of the pump and see what you get. I can't remember who made them originally for a 280ZX.

Ok Fuel Pump ordered. I got it from Discount Body Parts . We'll see how goes. I will post on here once I get it installed. Is there any thing any else I can check in the mean time? Also is there a way to check the ECU to make sure that it is fine?

Here are some things to watch. While the pump is not in you might as test the parts in the ingition system and start making repairs. Let us know how it goes

I will check the ignition coil this weekend. I am 99.9% sure that there isn't a ballast. There is a Transistor ignition unit which is #22020. Here is a picture of what I am working with. There is a smaller picture of the coil and the transistor unit off to the right. www.nissanpartszone.com/diagrams/large/S130/nissan-280zx-ignition-system-220001.png
