Fuel Pump?

[ramman54]

I've been unable to work since I got hurt over 2 years ago so my baby gets parked a lot when I can't afford the insurance. Went to start it yesterday and it turned over fine but wouldn't fire/start. Let it sit for awhile then turned the key to run position and listened. Nothing. Tried it 3 more times ...same result. Fuse swapped...nothing. Will have helper tomorrow to turn key so I can check relay. But I am thinking fuel pump since it has 168K miles, last time I went to start it. it cranked much, much longer than usual,(Has always fired rightt up) & it would be my luck. Can't really complain since it is the first real problem in 7 1/2 years. Can the pump it self be replaced or do I have to change the whole module? Would also like to hear from those that have done a change out.

You should check the relay first. It's in the PDC under the hood.

There should be another relay you can swap out for testing purposes.

Best to change it as a module.
