#231788 turn ur key to on II. if u can hear ur fuel pump prime for 2 secs its workin. if not check it by removing ur fuel pump cover and have a look, when i had to replace mine my pump looked very rusty and dirty, maybe cuz it was sitting there for too long. also if u think ur fuel pump isnt the problem, u can check if ur fuel pump is getting voltage by using a multimeter and touch the pins in the plugs and u should get voltage where ur fuel pump connects to the harness. if u do get voltage where the fuel pump connects then ur fuel pump is bad. replace :thumb: if u have a manual it will tell u the procdure too on how to check ur fuel pump
