It seems i've blown out my system by driving it on a low gas tank for years. It's been stalling and now won't even start? The car is in great shape, but I was recommended to have teh whole system replaced? How much do you think this will cost?

Whole fuel system?

No no no no.

Driving low blows out the fuel pump most likely, its not gonna wreck your injectors, fuel lines.

If you have lots of water and dirt on teh bottom then yes, but I highly doubt it since you ran it low all the times and it probably kept the water out of it.

Id quote about 250-300.

Msrp is $254.45
0.8 hours labor

Your looking at about $350 to $400 for the whole repair. It's pretty easy to change it yourself if you have a minimum of mechanical knowledge. The access door to the pump is under the rear seat cushion. Pull off the seat cushion and remove the door. The pump just has a few connections you have to remove and it will pull right out.
