I agree with Kloker it sounds like running the pump dry has ended its life.

Looks as if access is under the back seat, good news is you don't need to drop the tank.
Don't think your going to find any solution short of just replacing the fuel pump.

Could possibly try to a small dose of MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) in the gas to possibly provide some lubricity and keep the pump working, but even if it does run it will probably just leave you stranded very soon - I would advise to replace

MMO huh well I'm sure you guys are probably right I just can't afford a new fuel pump heck even a used one right now.I was just hope for it to be something else, I guess .... Thanks for everyone's input.. Hey out curiosity would blowing in the outlet of an electric fuel pump cause a problem, would you then need .....??
I have been there and I know the feeling. I hope you are able to get it sorted out and I am sorry to hear of the problems

To answer your question about blowing in the outlet I am not sure of the impact positive or negative.

The main issues fuel pumps face when run out of gas is that fuel acts as both a lubricant and cooling agent for the electric pumps. So they tend so start to overheat when run dry or near dry, then when cold gas is added to a hot fuel pump it shocks the pump as they go through a extreme thermal swing of hot to cold in a matter of seconds.

Gas being stored underground is often much colder than the ambient temperatures, so while it may be 70* outside gas is often much cooler.
