Default Optra died

I have an 04 optra 2.0 litre. Yesterday I was driving and my car sputtered a few times and then died. I don't hear the fuel pump go on when I turn the key on. I checked the fuses and they are good. I'm guessing the fuel pump is shot. The car has 385,000 kilometers.

Fuel pump would be better than The timing belt.

Changed the fuel pump and she fired right up. There is an access door under the back seat to get to the fuel pump. Takes about 20 minutes to change the fuel pump.
