However,the fuel pump have a limited life.If you notice any of the following signs with your car:
(1).Engine Sputtering at High Speeds
(2).Decreased Fuel Pressure
(3).Losing Power when the Vehicle is under Stress
(4).Inability to accelerate
(5).Decreasing Gas Mileage
(6).Engine Not Starting
This may indicate that you need to replace the fuel pump
Fuel Pump Replacement Guideline:
Please Note the following before replacing the fuel pump:

Picture(A)
Disconnect the ground (negative) cable of the battery and ensure that it does not accidentally spark while working.
Picture(B)
Locate and remove gas tank filler neck mounting bolts or remove the filler tube from the tank. This will aid the fuel removal especially if you had problems accessing through the filler neck.
Picture(C)
Located the electrical connector for the fuel pump and fuel level sender which will be in the same wiring harness. If access if difficult or you can't see them wait until the tank is lowered slightly to undo the connector. Inspect electrical connector for burns or heated spots and replace if damaged. A burned connector can cause a pump to fail intermittently.
Picture(D)
There will be fuel vapor lines as part of the EVAP system these will need to be removed or disconnected.
Picture(E)
Locate and release tank holder supports, there are two in most cases. Remove the mounting bolts at this point the tank will become loose but may not come out.
Picture(F)
Lower the tank and release top mounted fuel lines or electrical connectors if any. Continue to remove the tank.
Picture(G)
Remove the tank, this will expose the fuel pump retainer ring. Use an aerosol cleaner to remove dirt and debris from the area. This will keep the inside of the fuel tank clean when performing the repair.
Picture(H)
Remove fuel pump mounting bolts or retainer ring to access the fuel pump module and remove the unit. Use a hammer and punch to remove the ring counterclockwise.
Picture(I) Remove the fuel pump which will be attached to the mounting plate or positioned down inside the tank held by plastic retainer clips.
