Check to make sure that the inertia fuel shut off switch was not tripped (in the hatch behind a rubber gromet). This happend to me before due to some moron slamming my hatch too hard. If not then it is probably the pump, but it is not hard to replace.

Yes, where you would get at the drivers side tail light. A little black box with a red button, if the button is up, just push it back down and try turning the key to hear the pump.

Damn, I was hoping it would be an easy fix for you.
If it is the pump they are easy to replace( just a couple of straps, the filler tube, fuel line, and vapor hose). Summit has BBK pumps for decent prices. Good luck on getting it all worked out. Hey, at least it gives you an excuse to start modding!
