the in tank pump is so easy to get at and if you have a junk yard (pick a part where you pull your own parts) you will learn how to R&R the pump when take one out. under the back seat 4 screws and then disconnect the hoses and undo the lock ring. I cut the hoses off the junk yard assembly but thats me.
they have half price days wher the pump assy. will cost less than $15 and som have a free warranty. My problem turned out to be a clogged radiator overheating and the computer not being able to compensate. all is good now.
