    The fuel pump is bolted onto your engine and has an arm that runs on the camshaft to operate the pump. It is on the drivers side just in front of the engine mount and is held on by two bolts. You might have a stripped cam gear too. If the teeth are stripped off the cam gear which is very common then the cam wont turn so the fuel pump wont pump. Take the distributor cap off and wind the engine over so you can see if the rotor button is turning around like it should. If the rotor isnt turning then your cam gear is probably stripped.
