when turning the key over it wants to start but sounds like its not getting enough if any fuel. Before it didn't start it would stall when idling could this be that fuel pump needs to be replaced and where would it be located??

This does sound like a pump issue but we need to confirm this by checking the pressure when you turn the key on.

Here is a guide that will show how to do that:

Then if we confirm this we need to replace the pump. Here is a guide that will help with that:

Also, here is a video that we have that shows how to replace the fuel pump on your vehicle:

Lastly I attached the info from the manual on how to replace it just to make sure you have enough info. Let us know what happens and we can go from there. Thanks
