bang on the gas tank with a rubber malit an tune the key at the same time
There are a few ways you can tell if you have a bad fuel pump. These are is the engine sputters at high speeds, vehicle loses power while accelerating, or the engine will not start.
You can tell if your fuel pump shutoff switch is bad, if the fuel pump does not shut off when you flip the switch. You can also tell if the switch is bad by looking at the wire connections.

The Fuel pump sending unit has gone bad. Replace fuel pump assembly, not just the pump.
you have to use a vacuum pump and aply pressure to it and if fuel goes into the regulator then its working.
If its not pumping.
The best thing to do is replace the fuel filter anyway. You will need to do it even if the fuel pump is bad, so you have nothing to lose. You can listen to hear iif the fuel pump is kicking on at all. If it is, just do the fuel filter. Its much cheaper and easier than the fuel pump. Then you can test the fuel pressure to see if the pump is bad after you replace the filter.
It could be the fuel pump gone bad or the fuel filter is plugged. Ed
Sounds Like Fuel Pump Has Gone Bad Need To Remove Fuel Tank To Replace Fuel Pump....:)
Swap the fuel pump relay with another like relay.
Have the fuel pressure checked. If the pump is noisy it is failing. do not forget to replace the fuel filter. A clogged fuel filter will appear as low fuel pressure, and overwork the pump.
How Can You Tell If The Fuel Pump Relay Switch Is Bad? Have a mechanic do a fuel pressure check this will tell you if the pump is working properly or on most vehicles you should be able to hear the pump kick on. You can also have the wiring checked to see if the pump is getting power...
