How do you know the pump is not working?

Disconnect the low-pressure return line from the regulator, attach a
separate 12" piece of hose to the regulator, and put the free end into a
tall bottle.

Now have a helper turn the key to "II" while you watch the fuel stream into
the tall bottle. What happens during the first two seconds of key-on?
Steady flow? Drips? Sputters? Nothing?

Finally, you have not given your year or model. Please provide.
