Hi Fred,
No it isn't and the problem is unlikely to be the fuel pump.
- Either lift the rear seat cushion or remove the fuel filler cap so that you can listen to the pump on the offside.
- When an assistant turns on the ignition, do you hear the pump running for 2 seconds only?
- Now ask the assistant to operate the starter motor. Does the pump now run continuously whilst the key is held in the "start" position? If not, suspect the crankshaft position sensor.
- If the pump is running normally, loosen the ring securing the fuel filter housing; you'll find it on the nearside under the rear seat cushion.
- Carefully lift the housing a few inches (you'll need to remove the fuel hose so there will be spillage). Attempt to tighten the two housing sections which can separate slightly. Do not dismantle the housing. Look to see if a small orange or white clip has been fitted to the side of the housing (a modification to prevent separation). Replace the filter housing and try the engine again.
Simon
