Won't start, fuel pump? Options

[#1RAGE]

Just since this last weekend, my 914 has been having trouble starting. It turns over and over but doesn't start. Two out of three times trying, I got it to start. The last time I noticed just before it finally started, I heard a buzzing sound come on. Normally I hear this buzzing sound coming from the front of the car when it is running. Is that noise coming from the fuel pump?

I have heard that some people relocate the fuel pump to the front trunk area. If that is the case with my car, would the fuel pump likely be underneath the tank?

Just to make it clear. Normally I hear a buzzing noise coming from the front trunk / gas tank area. Recently I have been having trouble starting the car but just before it does the noise appears... which leads me to think it might be the fuel pump.

I'm not much of a mechanic. I remember looking for the fuel pump a couple years ago and couldn't find it in the engine bay; this also leads me to believe it is up front somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

We plugged in the relay, turned the key to the on position, and then opened the flap on the air flow meter. Again we get a constant 0.25 V until the flap is opened. When we opened the flap the voltage went up to about 2.2 V, mind you the battery was pretty weak at this point (around 11.6 V).

Is that normal?

We plugged the pump in again and it won't run at all, even when we unclip the white connector from the relay and we're getting nearly 12 V at the fuel pump. The pump seems to run fine when directly connected to a 12V battery. It doesn't make sense to me.

I want to find another relay to put in and test. I might try get one tomorrow.
