One day my '84 GTI ITB was running great - the next it wouldn't start. I added gas to make sure I hadn't run it out, but there is still no fuel reaching the filter. I can hear the solenoid opening and closing when I switch the key on and off, but no sound from the fuel pump. I'm 85% deaf, but my wife says she can't hear it either, even when kneeled down next to the pump. Should a person with normal hearing be able to hear the pump attempting to pressurize the line? I jumpered the fuel pump relay with no change, and I am getting ~11 volts at the pump terminals. Anybody got any suggestions? I'd like to bench test the pump...anybody ever done this? If so, how did you go about it?

Thanks in advance!
