Welcome to AF.

Did you check the fuel pump fuse (mini fuse 48) which is before the fuel pump relay? If the fuse is good then check for 12 volts at the fuse socket with ignition to ON which should come from the ignition control circuits. Note: Mini fuse 48 is used for the fuel pump and fuel injectors.

checked it this morning it getting voltage. dont understand why its not getting power to the fuel pump. but the battery was disconected so i think the auto theft is on. dont know what to do

If the security/theft has been tripped try leaving the key on for at least 11 mins.

On these models the fuel pump wires under the car back where they run on top of the tank can get damaged-cracked. Might check that too.

Also I'm pretty sure auto part stores sell this particualr section of the wire harness due to this defect.
