so did u hook up a fuel pressure guage to the schrader valve then? if so, make sure its snug on there and turn the key or however your turning the pump on like 2-3 times to let it build up pressure if it is making any, by just putting the gauge on its not gonna tell you anything, you have to let it run a few times. if you already know that then just ignore me. i would say around 40-45psi is where it should be, maybe more. thats really the main test to see if the pump is bad or not. also doing a pressure bleed off test, which is just letting the gauge sit sit for about 5min and see if the guage moved at all... if the car would run and you seemed to be having trouble with it getting enough fuel, theres another test that can be done while the car is running ,which i wont get into at the moment.
