Like the others said... check the inertia switch and relay. Here's a recent thread with a similar problem (lot's more threads out there too).

If not that, then a wire to the pump may be cut or corroded in one of the connectors somewhere.

guess I will be the first to give you the warm welcome ;)  Welcome to our place of great info, enjoy your stay :D check the things mentioned above the inertia switch should be inside the trunk left of the trunk latch behind the tail light panel.  theres a little white button on top push it and see it it clicks back in place.  also the fuel pump relay is located up under the package tray next to the passenger side trunk hinge.  have a good day :D
