GM cars have a test lead for the fuel pump. In the case of my Sunbird it is on the driver side, under the hood back where the wiring comes through from the fuse box. It's a red wire with a terminal end. It has no power running to it at all. You plug in a 12v source and if the fuel pump comes on then you know the pump is working and the problem is elsewhere.
Bypass the relay and if the pump works the relay is bad.
Swap the fuel pump relay with another like relay in the fuse/relay center. If the problem with the fuel pump goes away, the relay was bad. If not, knowing GM fuel pumps, the fuel pump is the problem.
need to know where is the fuel pump relay located on a 1994 Chevy cavalier? Changed fuel pump and fuel filter, not starting when turning ignition. need to know where is the fuel pump relay located on a 1994 Chevy cavalier?

A. the fuel pump relay is located under the hood on the passenger side. its on a block of three there are two that are black. one of the black ones is your fuel pump relay. When you change your fuel pump you always want to change your fuel pump relay.
Take the relay out and hot wire the pump. If it works, its not the pump.
If you turn on the ignition key without starting the engine you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If you do not check the fuel pump fuse and replace the relay before proceeding. If the fuse is good and the relay is good then you know the pump is more than likely defective.
i need to know where the relay for the fuel pump is located in the engine
A 2005 PT Cruiser does have a fuel pump relay. They have a fuel pump relay rather than a fuel pump switch. The fuel pump relay is located in the fuse box.
I believe that you can switch the Horn Relay with the Fuel Pump Relay and if the horn no longer works and the Fuel Pump does then that relay went bad... try that, its a sure fire way to know whats wrong... If it checks out good it might be a Defective Fuel Pump.
I doubt that it would be the fuel pump relay. If it's a throttle body injection vehicle, the injector could be stuck. But you wouldn't get ANY fuel into the engine if the fuel pump isn't working. Relay can be tested by turning key on but not starting. if you hear fuel pump 'HUMM', you know pump and relay are working. If no firing at keystart and experiencing flooding, not a fuel pump issue. There is a spark issue of some kind.
The main relay and the fuel pump relay are the same. Take the fuel pump relay and swap it with the main relay and see if that will help you....
If the relay is bad, then the fuel pump will not work.
If there is no fuel pressure and the fuel pump circuit, fuse and relay checks okay.
