Check your fuel pressure, it should be 40 p.S.I. Try changing the fuel filter first and then see what happens. The fuel pump mya have been changed but it may not be on right and not getting the correct pressure. There is a tap righ ton the fuel rail to check the pressure.

You have to drop the tank to get the fuel pump out. The fuel filter should be along the line on the side of the car, just follow the fuel line and you will see it it's a cannister about 2-3" long. As far as a manual goes, go to the site here and look under the site menu I think under auto maintenance, you can get a 3 day manual for your car for $10. Then you can look up what you need and download the area you want to work on and print it if it will allow you to do that. That should work out for you, otherwise you can always go to the auto parts store and get amanual there but they are about $35 or so. Also when you replace the pump make sure you don't damage the harness from outside the tank to the pump. Those are small wires and damage easly. ALso make sure that when you install the pump that it is on there good as they fall off sometimes and I kind o fthink that is what's wrong with yours or something similar. Of course follow all safety stuff and do not smoke anywhere near a gas tank that is opened up as the vapors are more dangerous than liquid gas.
