If it's not a dirty fuel tank, check the fuse and relay in the engine compartment fuse block. The fuse is labeled "FUEL" and the relay is "FUEL PUMP". Fuses don't come back to life but check it any way. Then consider there is a fuel rail pressure regulator under the hood on the fuel line, it regulates the pump electrically. It is fastened by two small bolts into the fuel line fitting, has an electrical plug, a vacuum line, made by Bosch, and costs $40. It may set a code if pressure is not about 60 psi. Don't replace it until there's nothing else left to check.
