where would be a good place to get a fuel pump and about how much. Also how would I know if there is an anti theft device connected to my fuel pump. I am the third owner and nothing was said either way. I can get the car to start but not stay running fuel pump or pressure regulator? any ideas

sounds like the idle control. Usually a fuel pump will howl and whistle as it begins to fail. If it is quiet, it is most likely a sensor or computer item. Do a search on this topic before you start a pump swap. I believe many have had the same issue.

It starts then stalls, almost immediately. If you pump the gas then it seems to stall immediately I know that it has no fuel pressure but there is fuel in the rail. I just replaced the fuel filter. I also check to see if the pressure regulator had power and it does. I also checked the fuses in the power box they were fine. I just replaced the air filter and cleaned the throttle body. I m not sure what to check next.

idle air control motor (iac motor) is on the throttle body, go out and smack it with a screwdriver handle and see if it starts and stays running....iac looks like a small silver/chrome cylinder with a flange on the end of it

And this pic is for the ones with OHV engines.
Oh...and the little plastic box that has two hoses and an electrical plug below the IAC is the DPFE sensor. If you have P401 or P402 CEL codes, then the sensor is most likely the problem.
