Wait a minute! It is probably NOT the fuel pump!  But instead the fuel
pump relay (located in a black box above the coil) is you likely
culprit.  If you turn on the ignition and don't hear the
click->sigh, just sit there quitely and wait. Once the relay get warm
enough it will make contact and all will be happy.  In cold weather i make
it a habit of turning on my ignition for about 10 minutes before i fire
her up.  THis also helps to warm up the battery so you'll have more juice
for the starter.  I only do this for the first start of the day- when
running errands it is fine.

Home this helps
