First see if it is running by listening at the fuel filler door while someone else turns on the ignition but does not start the vehicle. You should hear it run for a few seconds. If you do not hear it run check the fuel pump fuse. If the fuse is good check the fuel pump relay. If the relay is good then the pump is more than likely defective. If you hear it run then it may still be defective but the fuel filter may also be clogged. If the filter is not clogged then the pump is running but not pumping fuel. A fuel pressure test will also verify if a running pump is good or not.

What else could be wrong if new fuel pump isn't humming and truck won't start in a 1996 Chevy Blazer 43L?

first check to see if your getting voltage to your fuel pump. go to the connector at the rear of the truck. check voltage. should have 12 volts. if you do have 12 volts your pump has gone bad. this happens some times. if you don`t have voltage find your fuel pump relay. (right side kick panel) see if it comes on. on some models the relay is built into the computer box. if it is in the computer box the computer box needs to be replaced. also check to see if your fuel pump fuze is blown.

How do you replace fuel pump check valve on Volvo 240?

Locate fuel pump underneath vehicle right in front of left rear wheel, you will see the fuel filter connected in line with it. On the front part of the fuel pump you will see a brass valve connected to it. That is the fuel pump check valve. Make sure you clean the area around the fuel pump and pump filter thoroughly before disconnecting. My question to you would be how did you know it was bad?
