When I did mine, I went ahead and forked out the dough for the IPD special tool to access the in-tank pump. I thought it was very expensive for what it is, but it worked very well. It was also great to have when we did the same job on my son's car. Good luck. Lots of people have found that the little hose in the tank causes the symptoms you describe. It's not a difficult job. Just be careful around all that gas. Have lots of ventilation, etc. No sparks.
