How did you check the fuel pump to know it isn't working?

Here's what you can do. When you turn the key, your fuel pump should come on. If you put your ear near the gas tank, you should be able to hear it running. If it isn't, pull the carpet in the back to get to the fuel pump. I believe there is a plug back there for the wiring. Test for 12 volts. If it's getting 12 volts, and your pump isn't coming on, then your pump is bad. If it isn't getting 12 volts, your problem lies in the wiring somewhere.

Its not hard to replace one, if you are wondering. Takes maybe about an hour. I hope your tank isnt full.

did you check the wire to see if there is enough voltage to the pump?
