I agree with you and others have suggested that in this thread. Sadly I have nothing to go on...due to the diffcult diagnosis of this situation. I am also being told it is best to replace the fuel filters while in there...

There is only one fuel filter.. which has the check valve that keeps the fuel rail pressurized in it (the check valve isn't shown in any diagram of the fuel system.. but it's there.. mine failed.)

The test for fuel pumps is fairly simple - even an average owner could do it. It involves forcing each pump to run by alternately removing the fuse for the other pump and trying to start the vehicle. The fuses are in the under-hood (under cowl actually) fusebox. If it runs correctly on one pump - then the other one has gone to pump nirvana.
