test to be sure the fuel pump is failed???

 

failed completely?

remove the fuel filter and then turn the key on...the pump will prime and "should" pump gass out of the line

can't you check it using a fuel pressure guage?

 

Thanx teke 184----I know how simple it is to test the pump. I'm just at my wits end with my business van and trying to juggle my customers around the piece of crap needing this, that, and the other frikkin' thing for the last 2 months that I've lost common sense and faith. I appreciate you coming up with a quick help, but I've decided to go ahead and spend the $1000 to get it done without anymore busted knuckles. Power steering pump; tranny shaft bearing; 2nd engine in 15 months----I'm just TIRED of my tools and need to see what it's like to pay money to SOMEONE ELSE for fixing a vehicle for me for the first time in 20 years!!!!!!!

I'm just farggin TIRED!!!!
