electronic fuel pump inside the gas tank.
That car would have a 19 gallon fuel tank.
Fuel pump failure is the most likely cause but it can be other things. Check to see if the fuel pump is running. Can be a blown fuel pump fuse or bad fuel pump relay. But on a 19 year old car the pump very well may be defective.

If the 1994 Oldsmobile with the 3.4 liter engine is the Olds Cutlass Supreme, the horsepower is 210. This car gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
The Ford E350 Econoline series vans and motorhome chassis fuel pump systems are actually found in three separate systems. A visual survey will tell you which system you have.1) The conventional manual high pressure fuel pump mounted on the engine block and operated by the crankshaft motion;2) A high pressure frame mounted electric fuel pump; and3) An in-tank mounted low pressure fuel pump with a fuel pump relay installed in the system and located under the hood on the driver's side near the radiator overflow tank. It will be blue or brown in color.1) Change the manual fuel pump and replace fuel filter and check fuel lines.2) Change the frame mounted fuel pump, replace fuel filter and check fuel lines.3) This one is a little more complicated. The gasoline tank will have to be lowered to get to the in-tank fuel pump. Selecting a new fuel pump involves knowing what gallon capacity the fuel tank is, such as 19 gallon or 40 gallon. Replace the fuel pump relay under the hood, low cost item. If that doesn't do it check the wire for breaks. Or, run power directly to the fuel pump to ensure it is working properly. If it is working start troubleshoot why electrical current is not getting from the Ignition switch in the cab to the fuel pump relay and back to the in-tank fuel pump. Good luck!
First replace the fuel filter just in case it is partially clogged. Then have a fuel pressure test run to determine the condition of the pump. If the fuse and relay are good and the pump will not run you know it is defective and no test is necessary. But if it is running a test is the only way to know for sure. If you have never replaced the pump on this 19 year old vehicle it is more than likely bad.

take it out of the top of the tank and replace it or seal the tank off and go with a aftermarket inline fitler
A good/easy way to start is to check your fuel pressure. this will tell you if your fuel pump is sufficient enough to pump fuel, or if your fuel filter is clogged. The best thing to do is to go to the nearest shop and have them check your fuel pressure. But sounds like to me since your gas mileage has dropped, and it wont start, that its either the pump, or filter. Filter runs about 20 bucks, and pump close to 150. so hopefully its just the filter. hope this helped.
