First determine if it is, in fact, a bad fuel pump and that you just don't have a clogged fuel filter. If it is a dying pump you may get intermittent stalling of the engine especially when accelerating hard. If it has failed completely the engine will just quit and not run due to fuel starvation. Depending on the make/model of car the fuel pump may be located in the fuel tank - in-line with the fuel feed line, or somewhere in the engine compartment itself. Hope this helps.
