My 2000 Lincoln ls stopped running it seems it is not getting no fuel what should I do?

Sit in the car and turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Have someone else sit in the back seat and listen carefully and they should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If you do not, check the fuse for the fuel pump. If it is good check the fuel pump relay. If it is good suspect the fuel pump has failed. If you hear the fuel pump running, replace the fuel filter. And saying all this you may not be able to hear the fuel pump even if it is running. The only sure way is to run a fuel pressure test.
