Answer
A code has been set and a scanner will give you the code. However, the fuel pump can quit anytime after 90k miles. It could be the throttle position switch is acting up--an ohm meter is needed to check its action. It might also be the maf sensor. Try cleaning the battery terminals and unplugging and reconnecting as many sensor connections as you can find because it very well may be just a corroded connection that is causing the problem.
