Question my fuel pump

My fuel pump isnt working. my car sat for awhile and now it wont start because its not getting any gas. is there any fuses for the fuel pump or anything i could check that might be keeping it from getting power. and the screws are all rusty and wont turn with a screw driver they just strip out how can i get these out?

Thanks JIM

Drill the heads off. You do know that the fuel pump does not pump unless the motor is turning over which in turn opens a door in the mass air flow meter, which makes a micro switch, which completes the curcuit to the fuel pump? Of course you do. And that the other method of making the fuel pump work is with the key in the on position and the fuel plug on the r/h strut tower jumpered. Of course you did. I thought I'd write that for those that have not messed around in this area. Did you check the fuses in the engine compartment. Left hand side, fwd area, black box, rectangular in shape. The fuse Labled ECU is a good one to start checking. Free factory service manual on the web at http://www.iluvmyrx7.com FREE. Electrical schematics included for the price of ...freeeeee.Lots of interesting stuff there. Don't worry about fire or explosions when you drill the heads off. No worry involved. Just the heads please. When the top is taken off, just take a pair of pliers and remove the rest of the screw.
