I have an 02 X-Type with 75k on it, and while driving at freeway speed the car just died. Turns over and will not fire. I spreayed carb cleaner in throttle body and it will run till burned out. Should I assume its a fuel pump and go ahead and replace or are there any other simpler causes that could be suggested.

No, nothing happened. No indicator lights or anything. Just died. When I got to the side of the freeway and let it sit for a minute, I cranked it over and it started and idled real rough for a sec but as soon as I gave it gas it would die. Now it just wont start at all.

I know it doesn't sound related, but check the air filter too. I had something similar happen on another car a few years ago. The engine would run briefly, then die. It was the weirdest thing because the engine sounded fine (no hesitation or rough idle) when it was running. Turned out the air filter was clogged.
This might not be your problem, since you described rough running, but I would just quickly check the air filter to rule out a simple potential cause.

yeah they do.... in the passenger side under the front plastic trim. It shows it in the user manual.

Bullitt: did you check this switch? Ford's fail regularly.... I wouldn;t be surprised if that was it. Did you check to see if the existing pump is getting voltage?

I don't know if this helps but I have an 02 x-type with roughly 75,000 miles and my engine would keep cutting off when giving gas on the highway. My mechanic narrowed it down to the fuel pump. that pump is expensive! After replacing it, never had the same issue. I know this happened to another member here with at similar mileage. strange right?
