Think the fuel pump is toast

["RoccoPhil" <roccophil@mindspring.com>]

Hey all,

Went out this afternoon to check it all out.  Checked the Hall sender wiring
(not great, but no breakage, openings, or anything), so I don't think it's
ignition.

Tried to start her up, but no start. Turns over strong but, like, no fuel
delivery (and since it's cold I can't KEEP trying to turn it over).  I heard
the relay clicking sporadically.  The Jetta relay is not the same part
number or size (missing a circuit - don't know what it's for yet).  Same
poles ( 30 and 87) and whatnot and same amperage.  Tried that but nothing
either.

At this point I suspect the fuel pump.  Question is, how to check for fuel
pressure?  IF the pump is gone, then am I right by assuming that all
residual pressure in the system is shot also?  Can I slightly relieve
pressure at the fuel filter intake (pump side) to see if pressure is there
or not?  Or would that be an invalid test for pressure?  I don't feel like
getting an injector out since I don't have the tool here, the o-rings are
toast, and it's below freezing outside.

Also, I am interested in making the fuel pump relay jumper wire.  I don't
have any wiring here except what is on the Jetta (HAHAHA).  Seriously.
Anything there gonna work?

Thanks,
-PK
