Default HELP PLEASE PEOPLE FUEL PUMP TIPS NEEDED !!!

Hi fellas, my fuel pump isnt delivering fuel, ive tested for voltage on the fuel pump and im getting readings, but dont know which means what, ive listened for fuel pump relay click, it makes the click when ignition switched on, and i cant hear fuel pump whining in the boot, but when the ignition is turned, for a few seconds i hear a whinning noise comming from engine near the center...?


what do i do help needed urgently as i need to drive to work with this car, and i hate taking it to mechanics they tell me to change useless ****

i have changed the fuel filter, the adaptor leading into the fuel pump has 4 outputs, they all give off different readings i dont know which belongs to which, and the noise is comming from the engine bay not the boot, is that right?

Ok.... this is an interesting one... Sorry about the advice before... I should read thouroughly huh? LOL

I have whinning noise too? its when the ignition is turned on but engine not turned over yeah? Pretty sure thats just a computer or something. I can only think of injectors but the fuel pump should be making a noise at least. take the hose off the fuel pump & see if fuel spurts out... thats what id do.
