Just got the car back from the shop. They told me they pulled out the pump and the filter housing, and discovered a broken plastic fuel line - not sure where exactly or which one, but it must have broke while changing the fuel filter.

The fuel line was on backorder so it took a while, but it's running again, just reeks of fuel in the back. Need to wipe it down with some degreaser or figure out a way to get the fuel smell out.

Thank you for updating this. It will help a lot of people down the road with the same or similar problem and far too many people never come back to update their thread when they solve the issue.
