First check all fuses. Then check the inertia (fuel cut off) switch in the trunk. You can use a test light to see if the switch is sending current to the pump. If there is current coming out of the switch, it is a good bet the pump has failed.

I checked the fuel rail and no pressure. I checked voltage at the inertia (fuel cut off) switch in the trunk, it had 6v. Im confident now that the pump has failed. I will let you know after change out. Thanks for the help.

If there is just 6 volts at the inertia switch, there is a voltage problem. There should be 12 volts coming in and 12 volts going to the pump.

Check where the current comes from that feed the inertia switch. You may just have some corrosion on a connection somewhere. Does the switch have 6 volts on both sides or just the side to the pump? if it is the side to the pump, replace the inertia switch.
