Thanks for the quick replies all!
I opened up the access panel in the trunk ... this pump is a lot louder than the pump in #344 ... I think I'll take my chances that its the pump. I've never had an FP Relay fail ... but it may well be a contributor. The fact that the car had been running for some time when it lost power would tend to speak against the relay ... although, perhaps the contacts got hot. I will pull the relay and check the contacts as well.
Once again ... THANKS!

Steve,
Had a car that died, waited 5, restarted, drove 2 hours, died, new pump,
ran for 3 more years. I would let the car idle for an hour or so, when
and if it dies, check for fuel then go from there. Good luck.
