When you turn the key you should hear it kick on. If you have very little pressure, then it is most likely the pump. I had to do mine a couple years back and the darn thing went out again last year. You may want to bypass the relay and make sure it's getting power but if you hear it kick on but it's not pressurizing, there is a good chance it's the pump. Also, it seems obvious, but make sure the filter is good first.
