Should just look like this, Most likely it's stock and hasn't been replaced. It's hard to tell if it's OEM or not because everything will look the same accept for the pump down in the tank.

I replaced mine with an S2 fuel pump and haven't had any problem's since. But I would make sure it's working before messing to much with it

If you have access to a fuel pressure gauge that would be where to start.

There is a connector on the fuse box under the hood that if you short the 2 pins it turns on the fuel pump....

When you turn on the key the pump will prime and then shut off.... so sometimes it is difficult to tell if it is working normally or not.

fuel pressure should be ~60psi just be careful with the fittings under the hood
