bad fuel pump?
Got out of work today and went to start my car but no such luck. It turned over fine but that was it. thought maybe I was out of gas or just not enough in the tank to make it start, so got a ride to the station. dumped like 5 gallons in it but still nothing. when I put some gas in the throttle body it would start and run until it burned up all the fuel. Im guessing a bad fuel pump? any thoughts?

When you turn the key to the run position, do you hear the fuel pump prime?

yea, checked the relay too and all of the connections and wires. they are all good. got the pump out today....not the way I wanted to though but because I need the car tomorrow I sadly accepted the whole cut a hole in the trunk and get the damn thing done. So mid hacking we find out the new pump wont be here till thursday or friday, unless I order it from a dealership and they charge 400 dollars more for the same one. Nothing worked out right today....not cool.  <-----as you can see by my sad little frowny face.

almost any autoparts store will have a fuel pump for your car in stock.

you can always lightly hit the gas tank with your foot or hand that can ususaly get a defective pump to work for a short periord of time like a starter.

i got the pump at napa but it wasn't in stock so it had to come from detroit.
Im not a big fan of autozone or advanced auto parts.

correct me if I'm wrong, but on a 4th gen, to change out the fuel pump, you have to partially drop both the rear diff & a portion of the exhaust, to get the tank down...
if this is true, when my FP goes, I might farm it out to a mechanic

Yea, that's the correct way to do it, same with a 3rd gen. If I had the time to do it myself I would have done it that way, all it takes is a little bit of time and patience.
