Does the check engine light illuminate?  Any flash codes when jumpering
a-b in the aldl?  If you locate the fuel pump test lead (usually a red but
sometimes grey wire on the driver's side of the engine compt) and jumper
to power, does the fuel pump run?  If you can't locate the test lead, try
jumpering the relay.  $600 is a bunch for the pump if it's a Cavvy.  If
you look up a pump for the Chevy, they try to sell you a complete sender. 
If you look up a pump for a Sunbird, you can usually get just the pump.
