It stayed running for about 20 minutes after issue but no power when I accelerated it, it lost power and bogged down to stalling. So, I assumed gas issues, so I put a new high pressure pump on it and crank sensor and it cranks good has spark and almost started 4 or 5 times, but I do not know what else to check. Also, the gas gauge went out a few months back and had traction control stability track on dash and since then it an felt off like loss of power and shaking at takeoff.

Hi,

By chance, is the check engine light staying on? If it is, have you scanned it for diagnostic trouble codes? If not, I would recommend scanning the can-bus.

Here is a link explaining how it's done:

As far as the fuel pump is concerned, was only the high-pressure pump replaced? There is a supply pump (low-pressure pump). The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. The fuel pump module, located in the fuel tank, supplies fuel through the fuel feed pipe to the high-pressure fuel pump. The high-pressure fuel pump supplies fuel to a variable-pressure fuel rail. If you aren't getting fuel from the low-pressure pump or supply pump, the high-pressure one can't do its job.

Let me know.
