86 300 NA, Is my fuel pump going bad ?
 
Went to start my 300 last night and didn't hear the normal priming hum of the fuel pump, the car wouldn't start after five or six tries, so I unplugged and re-plugged the fuel pump under the back carpet and also took off the negative battery terminal in reconnected it, then I turn the key and I get the normal hum and it started right up? Does that mean feel pump is going bad or is it something else?

Sounds more like a bad connection than a pump performance issue.

You could check the discharge pressure of the pump by installing a gage.

I'll check the electrical, thanks for the idea
 
I'll check the electrical power and relays, as well as the fuel pressure, I'm pretty sure I can get the gauges at the auto store, loan program or rental? Thanks
will update.

Okay; can you describe to me exactly where you found the fuel pump relay? I’ve been looking forever and can’t find it anywhere. Not under the hood, not by the fuse bix, I’ve heard behind passenger seat like you but not sure where back there. Just give me an in depth description

The fuel pump relay is on passenger side behind the door

You'll need to take the trim off to access the relay
