First step is check fuel pressure. There should be a port on the fuel rail that you can uncap and put a gauge. (if you don't have a gauge you can push in and see if there is pressure. The fuel will squirt. Turn key on and push in like you would to remove air from a tire.) IF there is no pressure, you begin checking fuel pump. Start with fuse, if fuse is good and you find power at the connection to the pump then suspect bad pump. Most of the cars I have towed in over the years that needed a fuel pump said exactly what you said. "Ran fine, (I stopped to get gas, parked it, etc.) and when I went out the next time it would not start."
Spark is a second think, but rarely when you have a direct coil pack. Check the fuse for the coil pack.
Might be wise to check fuses and determine why dash lights don't work. Can you hear fuel pump run? Have you checked fuel pump fuse and relay? Often when a pump fails it has been drawing extra amps for some time prior to failing, which can harm the relay. If possible, hook up a fuel pressure gauge and insure you have correct pressure. Also be aware that some cheap parts store fuel pimps are junk, and may not work even when new. Also, did you clean the gunk out of the tank?
most likely you have a bad crank sensor or fuel problem you need to check fuel pressure ,if you have enough pressure ,most likely you need crank position sensor,if you don`t have fuel pressure ,it might be your fuel pump relay or the pump, i would start with the relay first very unexpensive. you can also hear the pump if it`s working by cranking the engine and listening rear of the car for a humming sound . good luck
Gauge fuse runs a fuel module that is installed to correct vapor lock. This module is what is running the pump. This module, called the hot fuel module is mounted on the passenger side behind the dash above the blower motor.
you need to find out if your missing spark at plugs or fuel pressure,you could hear the pump but that doesn't tell you if you have 5psi or 55psi, you will need a fuel preesure gauge and check that on the fuel rail redd valve if you end up having spark
turn key to on position do not crank engine when gas gauge moves up and all lights up in dash you should her a grunt sound from back seat area to deterimne if fuel pump is working no grunt no fuel pump!!
