My car just cranks and wouldn't start and if it did it stalled right out. I took the back line off the filter and turn the key and hardly any gas at all came out. does this mean my fuel pump is bad?

Good evening,

Can you hear the pump run when you turned on the key?

If you heard it run, then yes, you need a fuel pump.
