Yes, the pump will come on for a few seconds and then shut down if you do not start the engine. You may not be able to hear it without listening at the fuel filler door. Open the door, remove the gas cap, and listen there while someone else turns on the key. If you hear nothing then check the fuse and fuel pump relay. If they are good then more than likely the pump has failed.

Have fuel to pump but not coming out of pump to injecters?

The fuel pump may be defective or the fuel filter may be clogged. Replace the fuel filter if you hear the pump run when you first turn on the ignition without starting the engine. It should run for a few seconds. If you do not hear the pump running, check the fuse and the fuel pump relay. If you hear it run and after replacing the fuel filter you still have no fuel, the pump is defective and must be replaced.

How to test for bad fuel pump or fuel filter in a 2001 BMW 325i?

First just replace the fuel filter as it is a maintenance item that should be replaced regularly. If you hear the pump running when you turn on the ignition without starting the engine, that means the fuel pump relay is OK. If you do not hear the pump suspect a bad relay or fuse. If you hear the pump, and you still have a problem, you may have a weak pump.


How do you diagnose bad fuel pump on a 2000 jimmy?

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.
