Once that happened to a Camaro at my dad's dealership. It turned off and wouldn't start because the fuel ran out. So, they put gas in it with fuel injector cleaner, finally got it to start and revved the hell out of it!! redline revv. At that instant, a big BOOM went off and a cloud of drak black smoke came out the tailpipes. The slomaro then idled smoothly.
Maybe your injectors are dirty due to the fuel pump sucking up dirt that may have gotten into your gas tank? idk but that slomaro incident was a trip:/

ok well is there a good site on how to test the pump and to change it out, the reason i think its the pumpnis i pulled the line off the fuel rails and turned in to the on position and it didnt flow out and did the same at the filter and still nothing would it hurt anything if i hit the line with some air to back flush it.

ive ran into a fe problems before with previous stangs ive had and i know its gonna sound like a PIA but your best bet would be to pull your pump n check it beacuse it might be clogged up the next would be to pull your fuel rails off(with the injectors in tack) and VERY VERY easily shot a little air in em make sure no dirt or anything has it stopped up, if you do all that and everything is fine with the pump try it then if still nothing the only thing left are the lines being clogged. at that point you can either replace them or try n clean em out.

+1 On the problem probably being the pump.
Settling sediment on the bottom of the tank can be consumed by the pump, clogging or killing it or lodging it somewhere in the line as stated above. I really don't think the inertia switch is going to have much to do with it. A pinpoint test on the fuel pump would be the best bet.
Quick way to test the flow of your pump and the lines, pull your fuel feed off of your fuel rail and aim it into a contatiner. Prime your fuel pump by turning the key on to the key on/engine off position. Once you have properly diagnosed the concern and move forward to regaining fuel flow, this will be a quick way of knowing.
As I said, test your fuel pump. A pinpoint test, or if you're mechanically inclined pull it out.
