guys.. how to detect / syndrom when our existing fuel pump 'kong' already?..

coz i had difficulties starting engine when its hot.. 3x only can start.. mech said its teh fuel pump 'kong'..
Sometimes it may not be your fuel pump.... it could just be the fuel pump relay or something as simple a a fuse... a lot of people get conned due to this....
once, i thought my fuel pump kong, stuck at home, wet over to a nearby machenic and asked him to check my car at home.... he came, said fuel pump kong and quoted me RM400.00. I did'nt like the way he talked, all lansee one. So i call AAM. The AAM guy came to my house, tested fuel pump direct using car battery, he said Fuel pump OK. Checked my fuel pump relay. It had burned. RM80.00 only.
He told me a lot of mechanics make quick money this way. Replace your pump for no reason, fix relay or something, you get smacked with a big bill and they get a working fuel pump for their next victim.....
