Metal (aluminum) gas tank. The fuel filter is under a panel just forward of the rear passenger tire. Pressure at the fuel rail should be 49 psi, assuming everything else is good.
Id just change the plugs if its been sitting very long and moisture has been accumulated it could just be rusty...And run fuel system cleaner through it. Not that it couldnt be the filter...but after sitting that long your goin to have to replace em anyways.
Fuel pump relay (and fuse) are in the PDC, the box under the hood right behind the battery. All the relays are the same, so you can swap out with a known good one (I use the horn) if needed.
