Fuel Pump Questions

If the fuel pump is working you can hear it working correct? If I remember you can hear a very slight hum come from it, and you can clear hear it shut off. Any tests I can do to see if my fuel pump isnt working?

you can actually hear a humming noise in the engine bay. the injectors getting filled with gas. Check your engine fuses if its not working. If its a gs i got an extra pump.

LOL. Thats about the highlight of the day...

It would be easier to open the gas tank lid, cap open and listen from there when the key is turned on.

Exactly, even easier is just listen at the back of the car, under the seat. You can definatly hear it.

I'm pretty sure its a 30 amp fuse in the main fuse box in the engine bay.

That is where it is. There is also a fuel pump relay in that same fuse box. I know this thread is over, but that could also be a problem to check for if the fuel pump doesn't seem to be working.
