You've found out from others where the pump is located. Pressure should be up around 60 -70 pounds if I remember correctly. Your symptoms sound just like a weak fuel pump. Can you put a pressure guage on the fuel rail? I bet you will find it's putting out 10 - 15 pounds. Enough to idle the engine (just barely) but not enought to run. You can replace just the inner part of the pump for a lot less than $500. My pump went out 5 hours from nowhere near a town called Destruction Bay, in the Yukon on the AlCan Highway. A mechanic in Whitehorse found a pump to fit at the local Canadian Tire Store. I think it was a Ford product. It put out around 45 -50 pounds, cost less than $100 Canadian, and it's still in the car three years later. Don't neglect the advice from others to check or replace the fuel filter first. Good luck
