I have 2002 ZX5. Yesterday it was driven to work, and it ran perfectly fine. When I went to go home, it cranks over fine, but it never even tries to fire. My thought was that it's either electrical or fuel related. I checked the belts, both fine. I checked for spark, there is. I checked the fuses, all fine.

So I suspect that it's the fuel pump. When I turn on the key, I don't hear the pump at all. So I disconnected the fuel line where it connects to the injectors and tried to crank it over, no fuel came out of it.

That tells me that I'm on the right track that it's the fuel pump. Am I?
If it is, I'm not sure if I can change it if I have to drop the fuel tank, as I don't have the ability to lift the car up that high. I saw some videos on youtube about going through the interior by cutting a hole under the seats. Would that be a better way to go about it? Or would it be better to have an actual mechanic work on it instead of an amateur? But how much would that cost? Any ideas or comments would definitely help.
Thanks

I'll be sure to check the fuel cut off switch in the morning. I didn't know it had one.

I tried the fuel cutoff switch. It worked, for a minute. After pressing it, I was able to start the car, but it was very rough and only ran for about a minute, then it was back to the same as before. So now I've got the dilemma of wondering it is the cutoff switch or the fuel pump itself. I was going to buy a new switch before attempting anything else, but I can't find it. I tried Autozone, as they are right here, but they had no idea what I was talking about. Then I tried rockauto.com, my usual go to website, but I can't find it on there either. Does it have a technical name that I should find it under?
