You may also want to check the fuel filter. I don't know where they are located on the type of vehicle you mention, but if you get underneath and follow the fuel line from the tank to the engine, you should see it. Most fuel filter are little canister shaped filters. If you take it off, make sure you are wearing safety glasses- fuel in the eyes really sucks. When putting a new one on, make sure you put it on the correct direction- the arrow pointing toward the engine. It is a relatively cheap fix with minimum work involved, just a couple of hose clamps.

Hope that helps.
