Bad news at bottom. Check that you have power going to the fuel pump. The connector is under the passenger rear seat under the flap cut in the carpet. Lift flap and remove plastic cover. You can also listen for the pump when someone turns the key.
My wife said no to dropping the tank in the driveway which you have to drop to replace the pump. I <nearly> ignored her thinking I could easily have it done by the time she got home from work. Good move to have it towed as the bolt to the strap broke and the dealer had to fashion a new bolt. I would have been in deep trouble if the wife caught me.
Local indy booked up solid so had to go to dealer. At least I didn't have to pay for diagnostic. Did myself.
Now they also can only sell/install the fuel pump assembly. The parts numbers I gave them for barbed or smooth nipple kept reverting to pump assembly. Dealers aren't used to customers diagnosing and having WIS and EPC. :-)
Total bill: towing, fuel clamps, labor, pump assembly (had to go dealer's price), etc. = $901.01
Can't complain about their work. What really cost was the pump assembly and the towing. Hope it's not the pump for you.
