You could but it's more trouble in the end, probably take longer to do this than replace the stock fuel pump. Would have to find a fuel pump that not only pushes but also pulls, since it would have to pull fuel from the tank into the pump and then push it onward, all of this having to be done at a specific fuel pressure also. You would also have to relocate all of the fuel pump wiring.

Try resetting security system may have engaged partially then get it scanned for codes by a mechanic

It sounds like the battery cables are dirty. here is an article that will help you:

Could be. Next time won't start try knocking on the fuel tank. This will jar the fuel pump and if pump is faulty, this will almost always cause the pump to start again.

Next time it happens-don't wait for nothing-do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

Support tank and drop down to gain access to top hoses and line to disconnect
doing tank or pump, tank must come down

good luck

Its in the fuel tank
not an easy think to do
over $500

Yeah they are pricy.I prefer to use the oem brand on them. They have the regualtor, pump and sending unit all rolled into one.

Unknown factors will be the strap and line issues.

Independents use differnent pricing matrixs, talk to them about the cost first.

Which engine do you have?Also what are the symptoms?Any codes in the computer?Have you checked the actual fuel pressure?
