Remove the fuel cap and have someone listen in to the fuel tank while you turn the key to the on position. You should hear the fuel pump run for aprox 2 seconds. If you don't hear the pump run it is probably bad. You can try to replace the fuel pump relay under the hood but that is seldom the problem. If you hear the pump run you will want to do a fuel pressure test. This would require a fuel presure gauge and attachment. The pressure should be 60 to 66 psi.

Sit in the car and turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Have someone else sit in the back seat and listen carefully and they should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If you do not, check the fuse for the fuel pump. If it is good check the fuel pump relay. If it is good suspect the fuel pump has failed. If you hear the fuel pump running, replace the fuel filter. And saying all this you may not be able to hear the fuel pump even if it is running. The only sure way is to run a fuel pressure test.

If you hear the pump, and you still have a problem, you may have a weak pump.
