If you can hear the pump prime but have no pressure at the rail I would suspect a clogged filter or bad fuel pressure regulator rather than the pump.

A clogged filter would most likely just cause weak pressure but not zero pressure. The only test I know of for the regulator is to remove the vacuum line going to it and see if there is any fuel or fuel smell inside it, as there should not be fuel in the vacuum line.
