Easy to test pump. Takes two people. Disconnect fuel line at carburator and hold end in a catch can. Turn over engine. Does fuel come out. Yes, problem is not fuel pump. No, proplem may be pump or might be clogged fuel line or a fuse. rule out fuses first (cheapest) fuse will be labeled fuel pump. Don't jump your fuel pump while it's in the car. OK to jump it on a test bench but in the car full of fuel is a bad combination with sparks....

SOURCE: kia sportage fuel gauge unit not working ?

hi this sounds like it could be a couple of things, first the obvious have you checked the fuse? or it might be the relay in the fuse box might need replacing, and the fuel sender unit in the fuel tank, you also can check out the wires going to the sender unit, sometimes you can find these under the rear seat or in the boot/trunk area might be a simple case of one of the wires have come adrift there is a couple of things to check before having the sender unit replaced or the Gage..hope that helps
