The fwd one on the drivers (left) side of the engine. It comes right off the fuel filter which is a foot below it. You know that you need to jumper the fuel jumper plug on the r/h strut tower or crack the flapper door in the air fuel meter, to engage the fuel pump. It takes more than just turning the key to the on position.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Lemme get this straight. You wanna just pull of a fuel line and see if the pump will spray fuel out of it? Or do you want to put a pressure gauge on it?
Here is a picture of what you need to jump. Just get a small piece of wire and put each end in the conector.

I wish I was driving!
you think? Maybe he is just trying to easily eliminate what could be wrong with his car since it isn't running... air, fuel, or spark.
do a pressure test on the fuel system. It will actually tell you how well the pump is running.

Oh yeah, and I am just tryin to eliminate problems, but I know its got something to do with the fuel, I drove it 14 hours straight last weekend, and a couple days after it would bog on left hand turns until today when it just keeps dying.
