Best Answer

If a fuel pump were bad it would not send fuel to the engine. If this were the case the engine would not start it would turn over and produce spark. Without fuel and spark there is no fire thus no combustion. If you are trying to figure out why a vehicle will not start and it is turning over you need to test for spark. This can be done by testing each individual spark plug. Pull one out at a time and have someone turn the ignition and watch for spark. Make sure that each plug wire is properly connected. If none of them have spark then you should look to the distributor. Check the distributor cap and rotor to ensure they are making contact and are not worn.
