first you need to know where the pump is ,and even if the pump s broken. cause for sure you can break it trying to do what you asked about.
Since most modern automotive engines are EFI, I'll assume you're asking about one of them. EFI engines require that fuel be delivered to the injectors at a specific pressure. That pressure is determined by the engineers who designed the engine and EFI controls. Low or no pressure to the injectors can certainly act like the vehicle is out of fuel, but it may just be a delivery problem. The computer turns the fuel pump on when you try to start the engine. If the engine doesn't start or if the computer does not receive a signal that the engine started (even thought the engine may have started briefly), the computer will turn off the fuel pump within a few seconds. There are several reasons why an injected engine may not be receiving fuel: * The computer does not turn on the fuel pump (possibly a sensor or the computer... probably NOT the computer though, but it's possible) * The fuel pump is working but fuel is not getting through (possibly plugged fuel filter or fouled injectors) * The computer is trying to turn on the fuel pump but the fuel pump doesn't pump anything (possibly a failed fuel pump, failed relay, blown fuse which usually is the result of a failed fuel pump or faulty wiring or just plain out of fuel) This is where it becomes valuable to possess some basic diagnostic skills.
the fuel pump is in the gas tank and the filter should be on the line coming out of the tank that goes to the engine.
it's on the passenger side of the engine block, just follow the fuel line from the carb down and it screws directly into the fuel pump.
right on top of the tank its the small black wire

If the vehicle has an electric fuel pump, then no, it runs no matter if the engine is running or not, but it will only run for a few seconds unless the engine is started. However if the pump is mechanical then the engine must be running for the pump to work.
It is an electric fuel pump and does not require priming.Cranking the engine should start the pump to run. The computer shuts it off after 3 seconds if the engine has not started.
A pump that pumps fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.

There is a good possiblity it is the fuel pump. Spray a little starting fluid into the air intake duct to see if the engine will run breifly. If so the engine is not getting fuel. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and it is common for the pump to fail. The fuel tank would have to be removed in order to replace the pump.
Fuel pump is what pumps gas to engine. Water pump is what pump water in engine
The location of the fuel pump depends on which engine the car has. If it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder fuel injected engine the fuel pump is in the fuel tank. If it is the carburetted 2.8L V6 the fuel pump is on the lower part of the engine block on the radiator side of the engine.
The year, make, model and engine would help but, in most cases the crank sensor tells the ECM (Engine Control Module) the engine has rpms so the ECM keeps the fuel pump running. Some engines use the oil pressure switch to keep the fuel pump running.
That depends on the year, make, model, engine. In general a carbureted engine has a mechanically driven fuel pump mounted on the engine. A fuel injected engine normally has a electric fuel pump in the fuel tank.
No, it is self priming. You may however have to use starter fluid to get the engine started.
That depends on whether your engine has a carburettor or is fuel injected. If your engine has a carburettor the fuel pump is on the lower engine block. If your engine is fuel injected the fuel pump is in the gas tank. Tell me which engine you have and I can give a more specific answer.
No, of course not. The fuel pump supplies fuel to the engine. The engine will not run without a supply of fuel.
