If you don't hear the fuel pump making any noise, does that necessarily mean that it does not work? For example, if I have the ignition in the 1st, 2nd and even 3rd spot, I can't hear any noise, when turning the ignition to start the engine, I can't hear the fuel pump either, but I can't hear anything since the engine is trying to turn over.
Sorry for the weird questions, I'm new to all of this.

Thanks

 

When you turn the igntion "on" the pump should run for 2-3 seconds and then shut off.

It will also run when the starter is engaged and when the ECU sees a trigger signal from the ignition amplifier.

You might have to open the trunk to hear it while a helper works the igntion key

I can definately see why I can't hear it when the starter is engaged, it's pretty loud.

Oh, is the fuel pump running while that annoying beep sound goes off in the car? That annoying beep turns off after 2-3 seconds. If so, no wonder I can't hear it!

Thanks

 

why are you questioning the fuel pump? what is the problem?

 

Oh, sorry about that.

My fuel pump is not running at all. This is why I'm asking. I guess I need to make sure it's getting power with a voltimeter.

Thanks!
