Fuel Pump question.

1991 Formula, 305 V8 TBI.

Can the fuel pump on my car be broken ( produce little or no pressure), yet still hear the pump run.

My car stopped running some time ago. The ingniton is just fine because the car starts up when I manually feed gas into the throttle body bores. The ECM is giving me NO codes. The fuel filter is not clogged. I crack open any of the fuel lines at the threads at the fuel filter and the TBI to just get fuel to drip, I then turn the IGN key to let the fuel pump prime, andno fuel SPARYS out of any of the threads, yet I can hear the pump run. When I jumper (Bypass) the injectors while someone turns the key to turn the engine over, fuel just drips out ( No spray). There seems to be no Pressure, but the pump still pumps. Should I change pump? Could the pump be very weak? What should I check for?
Is there a chance someone could E-mail me detailed instructions on how to RR of my fuel pump and gas tank.

sounds like your pump has went out, It can come on with out making any pressure or volume.
