Michael,
When you turn the ignition key to the on position, you should be able
to hear the pump buzz for a second and then stop. If it's doing that,
then the problem is not the pump. If not, it's one of two relays. My 83
has a fuel pump power supply relay and another relay that actually has the
words "fuel pump relay" on it. I don't have the manual handy right now,
but I wanna say the FPR is in the number 3 slot on the top of the relay
board. The smaller fuel pump power supply relay is right above that, mounted
on top via an add on connector. The problem with the Rabbit's of the 80's
is that water would sometimes leak down from a stopped up front hood vent,
and rust up the fuse box. I pulled all the relays, keeping log of where they go,
and all of the fuses, again, keeping a written log, and then sprayed a little WD40 in the contacts. Then I blew them out with compressed air. Seemed
to help everything. I also cleaned the contacts on all the relays. I did replace the turn signal relays, they're the one's with only three connection
blades on them.

What kind of fuel injection do you have? Is it a mechanical CIS. ( Constant Injection System)
