Driving down the hwy. all of a sudden my engine shut down. It will crank but will not start. Im thinking fuel pump since I can't hear the pump running when the ignition is on. Is this a valid assumption or is the filter just clogged. Also my owners manual says something about a reset button under the dash but I can't find anything like that. Please help.......and thank you so much.........

the reset button is for getting in crashs to shut off the fuel pump.

Quick way to check if the pump is putting out fuel is to spray starting fluid in the throttle body and crank it and if it fires it isnt geting fuel, or dissconnect a fuel line and crank it, no fuel coming out, bad pump
