Before you replace anything check the fuel gauge and make sure you have fuel in the car. I know this sounds silly but you won't believe how many times I have seen this before. First you can check to see if the fuel pump is running. Have an assistant turn the key to the on postions while you listen carefully near the fuel tank. You should hear the pump run (humming) for a few seconds and then shut off. This is normal. If the pump runs then I would suspect the filter is clog or a kink in the line. If the pump isn't running check the fuel pump fuse and make sure it is good. If it is good then check the fuel pump relay and make sure that is working. Good luck Backyardmechanic
