You can check it in a number of places from the fuel shutoff switch behind the rear panel to the fuel pump harness which runs through the floor down to the tank. If your not getting a momentary 12 volts when you key the car on in any of those places theres a problem either in the relay, safety shut off switch, or wiring. If you are getting 12 volts with a key on the problem is likely the pump or connection to the pump.
