Before you change the pump, you might want to run a can of B&G K44 ($23 
at NAPA) through the gas tank.  It might be that your pump is just 
gummed up and needs cleaning. But of course you would have to get it 
started to try this method.  I found it very helpful to install a 
permanent fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail, to help diagnose fuel 
problems.  Let me know if you want my write up.

The top of the fuel pump is very easy to access (right under the carpet, directly below the ski boot), and you can test for power right there while cranking.  My guess... you'll have power, and your fuel pump is shot.  Crack the fuel line at the rail, or at the fuel filter.  If you get only a dribble... and you have power while cranking... time to order a fuel pump.
