pressurizing fuel pump with no intake

my wife's tII has a bad fuel leak and we're trying to track it down. is there any way to pressurize the fuel system without trying to start the car? i have the upper off the car so i really can't do that. i turned the key to the on position thinking the pump should have turned on, but i didn't get any leakage when i did that.

Correct, you want to jump the pins of that connector. a paper clip works great.

If that should not work take the intake off and press the AFM in, the fuel pump should kick on.

There should be a yellow one around there, if you just can't find it then just open/remove the airbox and press in on the AFM. That will do the same thing.
