Get a helper and have them turn on the ignition without actually starting the engine. While they do this, you listen at the fuel filler door with the door open fuel cap off. You will hear the pump run for a few seconds and then shut down. If you hear nothing check the fuel pump fuse. If the fuse is good replace the fuel pump relay. If you still hear nothing the pump is defective and needs replacing. If you do hear it run it may still be defective and may not be actually pumping any fuel or the fuel filter may be clogged, so replace the filter before procedding. A fuel pressure test with fuel pressure gauge will verify condition of fuel pump that is running.

How do you check the 1984 s10 fuel pump to see if it works?

One way you can check to see if the fuel pump is working is to disconnect the fuel line heading into the injector or the carburetor. Be sure there is nothing that can ignite a flame anywhere near you or the vehicle when doing this, and be sure to be outside in a well ventilated area. Have a friend turn the car over for a snap second. If fuel comes out of the line, the pump is working. If not, the pump needs to be replaced. Be sure to check the entire fuel system out first as you may have a clogged line or clogged fuel filter and the fuel pump is working.
