Turn the key to the on position, not all the way to ignition though. Instantly grab the shifter, feel for a very fast vibration. If you feel it, that should be your fuel pump. If you don't feel it, your pump might be bad. I could be wrong but that's the method I used when replacing the pump in my FC.

WTF!!! talk about innacuracy

WTF!!! Talk about an old thread...

I'm not saying it will vibrate out of your hand or anything, I'm saying that I've always been able to feel a minor pulsation in the shifter as soon as the pump kicks on. And as stated, I'm just stating the method I used to find that the fuel pump wasn't delivering.
