It will be a distinct whir when you turn the key and the chimes come on/go off.


If you don't hear it, it ain't running. lol

If that's the case, either you've got a bad fuel pump or a bad relay under the hood.

you can switch a good relay with the fuel pump relay, see if the pump comes back. If not might be time for new pump.

It might be time for the pump, but do what Stewie said.
