Best Answer

The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. To check if it's working, sit inside the car with the windows rolled up and the radio off. (You want it to be real quiet) When you turn the key to ON (NOT to start) you should be able to hear the fuel pump whirring. You'll only hear the pump for a second or two, then it will stop, as the required fuel pressure has been reached. This should be enough to tell you that the pump is working, according to my Haynes manual. (A good thing for all of us to have on hand!) FriPilot
