Preliminary test: Turn the key to ON. You should hear the pump whirr for a 2 seconds, stopping when you hear a click from a relay.


To check pressure:
Pop off the engine cover. Move aside the air cleaner assembly, and look at the fuel rail on the drivers side

See the valve with the plastic cap similar to where you put air in a tire? Take the cap off and press on the valve. Does fuel come out? If not, your pump is faulty.
