Ok so I finally got around to jacking the car up and inspecting the fuel pump ... checked for power and nothing ... with the key ON the pump should have power ....right? Then I refered to the OWNER MANUAL and it doenst mention anything about a ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ... the wiring diagram also mentions nothing about an electric fuel pump ?
Any help would be greatly apreciated

Ron,
Take left rear wheel off and you will see the electric fuel pump attached to the rear bulk head just right of the C clamp on the exhaust pipe(1st pic). 2nd pic shows close-up of mounting bracket, and 3rd pic shows pump head with wiring.
There are 2 filters on fuel injected cars: a 20 micron Fuel Filter (NAPA 3012) at the tank outlet and a 3-10 micron Fuel filter (NAPA 3097) located opposite from the fuel pump on the passenger side. Clogged filters can stop your pump. Changing them may solve your problem, otherwise the pump may have died.
Fuel Line Flow Diagram: Gas Tank - 2” fuel hose - 20u Fuel filter - 10” fuel hose - copper tube (runs width of bulkhead) - 3” fuel hose - 3-10u Fuel filter - 14” fuel hose - copper tube (runs width of bulkhead) - 12” fuel hose - Fuel Pump - 10” fuel hose - copper tube - Engine.
To change filters:
1)Siphon gas from tank.
2)Clamp hose descending from In-line 20 micron Fuel Filter (NAPA 3012) @ tank outlet, detach hose at copper tube, and drain remaining gas into gas container.
3)Detach fuel hose from 3-10 micron Fuel filter (NAPA 3097) and drain remaining gas into container. (Here's a good point to remove and test pump.)
4)Replace filters and all old hoses [NAPA 4219LC Fuel Hose PCV/EEC 5/16 inch (8 mm)]
5)Refill gas tank.
Note that fuel injected cars use high-pressure hoses downstream from the pump
