To determine if the fuel pump is bad on your 1998 Lincoln Town Car, listen for a humming sound from the fuel tank when you turn the ignition key to the "on" position (without starting the engine). If you don't hear the sound, it may indicate a faulty fuel pump. Additionally, if the engine cranks but doesn’t start, or if you experience stalling or poor acceleration, it could also suggest fuel pump issues. Checking the fuel pressure with a gauge can provide definitive confirmation of the pump's functionality.

On a 1998 Lincoln Navigator : The ELECTRIC fuel pump is INSIDE the fuel tank ( it goes in from the top side of the tank )

Have a fuel pump pressure test done.
Disconnect the pipe coming out of the fuel pump, then turn the ignition. If petrol squirts out all over your hand, then you know it's working.
