Your suspicions are correct. It doesn't have a carb. Just because it looks like one, doesn't mean it is one. Carbs went away in north america in 88'(end of the MK1 model) Any 89+ metro uses a fuel injector. Carbs are still used worldwide where smog laws don't exist.

There's a 15a fuse in the black fusebox under your hood. It's on the drivers side next to the strut tower. Check that and see if it's blown. If it's not, have someone turn the key to the "on" position while listening to the relays(little black boxes). If one of them doesn't click, you've likely got a bad fuel pump relay.

On the topic of carbs.. Did that metro happen to have a JDM motor put in it? Those sometimes come shipped with a carb. In that case, you need to change over your intake system to one with a fuel injector. The ECU won't run a carb'd motor.
