Hook up a fuel pump pressure gauge to the Schraeder (spelling?) valve on your fuel rail. Be sure it is a gauge that is designed for Fuel Injection systems (able to handle at leat 60 - 70 psi or you'll have gas squirting everywhere).
Should be between 50 - 60 pounds.
If not then check the fuse to the fuel pump.
My 1997 GTS manual says:
1. release fuel system pressure.
2. disconnect negative battery cable at the auxiliary terminal.
3. access fuel pump module cover by pulling back trunk rug.
4. drill pop rivets from fuel pump module cover using 1/4 inch drill.
6. use special tool 6856 to remove fuel pump module locknut.
7. lift module up to remove, being careful not to spill the fuel remaining in it.
I guess you could check the voltage at the pump at that point (you'd have to hook up the battery again; be sure no fumes are present either at the battery terminal or at the poin that you are checking the voltage to the pump..
Did you change the fuel filter? If clogged then you'll get lower or no pressure.
