If you take off the fuse box/PDC cover you should see printed on the cover, either fuel pump relay. Or just let the engine and pull one relay at a time until the engine quits.

Philly, if she runs this thing out of gas on a regular basis i'm going to assume she also runs the tank low all the time. There is a VERY good chance the fuel pump has been murdered. Try and get her to break that habit. It may require flogging or water boarding.

Ok so i returned the filter i bought and i compared the two of them.The hose in the middle of the new filter was smaller than the original one?Now the farthest left fitting snapped cause i had it on and when i was going to attach the middle one it didnt fit,so i tried take the left one off and the damn squeeze fitting or whatever is called wouldnt budge,and eventually snapped on my hand.So now do i need a new pump and where is the cheapest place to get one??ebay? I really need help and i dont have alot of money.It really sucks i gotta take my kids school shopping and then this happens!!!.

I didn't see a year or engine size,

make sure you get not jsut the fuel pump, but the fuel pump assembly, it includes the Fuel Level Sending Unit which you said the fuel level was a acting crazy

here is a link to some auto coupon codes
http://frugalmechanic.com/coupons

I have used the ones for advanceautoparts, bought online with coupon code, but picked up in store when I was doing my tune ups on my cars, I would split my orders up into as close to or above 75$ and use the coupon code for 30$off 75$ purchases, I averaged 39% off my tune up's

for life time warrenty it was 239 before the 50$ discount so 189 lifetime warrenty
