Ditch the screen disk at the bottom of the tank while you're in there. You're car has a return style pump so the connections are a little different. It should drop in w/o modification like people do for the returnless Focus SVT pump.

thanks for the rapid response.
sorry for my bad english.
what did you mean by "Ditch the screen disk at the bottom of the tank while you're in there."

i will start to search for the fuel pump.



Don't worry about "Ditch the screen disc at the bottom of the tank while in there". Your 98 is not built that way, only the late 99 and newer. What he ment was to throw away that part. But like I said, yours is not made that way.

I almost agree about changing the fuel pump, but CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER FIRST AND SEE IF THAT IS ALL THAT IS WRONG.
