if the pump is working, then you should be able to hear it while in the front seat, just roll the windows up and turn the key to on but not start and listen for a humming for a couple seconds

i've been looking to buy a fuel pressure gauge and it seems they are hard to find and rather expensive if you must check for fuel pressure take it to the shop to see why it won't start. Another common issue is your electrical starter switch (just a thought)

If you have basic tools you can try loosening the nut at the fuel rail, does the fuel spray out, if it sprays you got pressure. that means your pump is working. if not don't always think it's the pump sometimes the main relay can go bad. that would cause the pump to not come on.
