You can have someone turn the ignition key to the on position without starting the engine while you listen at the fuel filler door with the cap off. You should hear the pump come on and run for a few seconds then shut off. If you hear nothing check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay. If both are good the pump is defective. If you hear the pump run that does not necessarily mean it is actually pumping fuel. A fuel pressure test at the fuel rail well verify the condition of the pump.

Fuel pump location on a 1996 Tahoe?

Fuel Pump is located in the tank, and it requires removing the tank from the vehicle. If however you are having issues with fuel pump cutting out, or the fuel pump relay "overheating" Check your Oil Pressure switch, its a cheap and easy to replace, and if its bad it will shut down the fuel pump.

How do you check fuel pump in the Lexus 1993 gs 300?

First check your fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gage. If it is good your pump is good. If you have low pressure it could be a bad pump, dirty fuel filter, or clogged fuel line. If you have no pressure then check to make sure the fuel pump is getting power (12 volts) and that is properly grounded. If it is then either the pump is bad or the fuel filter is completely blocked. But first you may want to check to make sure you have gas in your fuel tank.
