Normally, when you first start the car, you can hear the pump "wind up" for a second or two. This means that it's probably working, but is no guarantee.

But if you think your pump is failing/failed, I'd suggest picking up a Haynes or Chilton manual and having a look at the fuel system checks. That should pretty much determine if the pump is good or bad. If the pump is bad, you have a big job ahead of you. The pump is located inside the fuel tank. Replacing it means dropping the tank after you suck all the fuel out of it.
