Open the fuel filler door, and remove the fuel cap, and have someone turn the ignition switch on without starting the engine, while you listen at the fuel filler opening. If you hear the pump run then you at least know the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay are good. But that does not necessarily mean the fuel pump is pumping fuel it might just be running. The only way to verify if it is putting out the proper pressure is with a fuel pump pressure test. If you do not hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds and then shut down, check the fuse and the rely for the fuel pump. If the fuse and relay are good you know the pump is defective and needs replacing. Be sure and replace the fuel filter.
I have a 94 jeep and the fuel pump went out. the way to tell is if jeep wont start. that because there no fuel coming from the pump to the motor.
On my 95 aspire the fuel pump went out and I had to take out the back seat and the fuel tank is there along with the fuel pump.
I believe that you can switch the Horn Relay with the Fuel Pump Relay and if the horn no longer works and the Fuel Pump does then that relay went bad... try that, its a sure fire way to know whats wrong... If it checks out good it might be a Defective Fuel Pump.
check that the fuel pump is not loose
what are the symptoms for needing a fuel filter or pump in a 2002 malibuls?
A fuel pump pressure test could determine the condition of the fuel pump and fuel system.
When it fails to pump fuel as it should.
You do not have to reset the fuel pump just because the battery went dead.
Do a fuel pressure check-no fuel pressure means defective fuel pump-
The fuel pump relay is to move the fuel from the primary tank to the engine itself. To accurately answer your question I would have to know the exact fuel pump you want to know about
The pump should be mechanical, mine is a 350 and it is mechanical, I should know it just went out last night
Of course if the fuel pump is not running the fuel pump fuse, fuel pump relay, or the pump itself is defective. But the pump can be running and still be not pumping fuel. The only way to know for sure is to run a fuel pressure test. Do not overlook the fuel filter as it may be clogged.
