On my '90 Hatch, under the rear bench seat is a cover that exposes the float in the tank. I lifted the rear seat up, removed the cover, and had my buddy turn the key. You should be able to hear it.

If not, you could always put a pressure gauge on the fuel line to see if it is priming. Or disconnect the line from the tank to the fuel filter and see if fuel is coming out.

Those are a few different options, assuming it is fuel delivery that is keeping your car from running.
