Oil pump or fuel pump?

Like it was already stated, stock fuel pumps can be very quiet. Especially if you have an in tank pump and the tank is full. I think Rx4's had an external pump though.

Either way, if you want to do it by ear, crawl undermeath the car and listen for the pump. Or pull a fuel line and place it into a container so it will not spill. Turn the key on and see if fuel flows out.
