We need to start with the basics. That means we need to find out if the pump is building any pressure at all.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

If there is no pressure, then we need to remove the relay and jump power to see if the pump will come on.

If it doesn't then we most likely have a failed pump.

If the pump comes on, then we have a power issue and we need to check the fuse and relay.

I am attaching the wiring diagram below which will help with all of this but the most common cause of this is a failed fuel pump.

Running through this process will confirm this.

Let us know what you find, and we can go from there. Thanks
