You should be able to check the fuel pump by disconnecting the output line and turning the key on to activate the fuel shutoff so fuel can flow.

When my fuel shutoff started to fail, I had starting problems like you are experiencing. Finally, it would run but wouldńt shut down with the key off. Are you getting the Click indicating the fuel shutoff opening when you turn the key on?

Sounds like your fuel shutoff solenoid has died. Easy to get to and replace.

Hope it takes care of the problem. There is a relay in there as well. Napa usually carries those in stock.
