iIf it is a electric fuel pump you cam easly tell if it is bad by simply turning the key to the on possion carefull not to engage the starter. lissen for the pump to run for 3 sec do this three or four times if you cannot here the pump trying to prime then it is bad.
AnswerIf the pump is electric and i am sure it is turn the key to the on possion, careful not to enguage the starter. listen for the pump to prime {about 3 or 5 sec} if you do not here the pump then it is bad.
========================================================
Start with the basics :
Has the fuel pump inertia switch ( shut off switch ) " tripped "
Have you checked the fuse for the fuel pump
What about the fuel pump relay
how do you tell if your fuel pump is working
The relay is in a block of relays on the left side of the engine compartment just back of the air cleaner. The relay cover should tell you what position the fuel pump relay is in.
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.
I can tell you the fuel pump is in the gas tank.
You will have to remove the fuel pump relay or the fuse for the fuel pump. You did not say what year it was, so I can't tell you where it is. SORRY.
well if you have fuel and a new filter a good fuel pump relay and the wires going to the fuel pump have power and no fuel pressure you need a fuel pump
A fuel pressure test done at the fuel rail will verify the condition of the fuel pump. Before going to that much trouble check the fuse, and fuel pump relay. If either one is defective the fuel pump will not function.
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.
A fuel pressure test can determine if the pump is working properly or not.
If you hear the fuel pump run that is a good sign it is working however, a fuel pump pressure test would tell you if the pump is meeting the required pressure.
do fuel pressure test
If you hear the fuel pump running, then start by replacing the fuel filter. If you don't hear the pump, check the fuse. A fuel pressure test will verify if the pump is good or not. It can also be a fuel pump relay or in rare instances a defective ECU.
