I bet it is the fuel pump. I had this same problem this past spring and she left me stranded.
The fuel shut off switch is located under the pannel next to the dead petal on the drivers side footwell. I dont remember it being to hard to get at and mine was tripped when I checked it. My car would turn over ebut just wasnt getting any fuel and i had noticed that the "humm" of the fuel pump wasnt there when i turned the key to on. The fuel pump is a pain in the arse to replace too if your like me without a garage/tools in college. You have to drop the tank to get to it. There is a hole under the rear seat to "look" at it but it just isnt big enough to access the pump!! Damn Ford!Anyway I hope that helps you out. I bought a pump from autozone that came with a liftime warrenty and was alot cheaper than anywhere else i had looked. However I think my fuel pump may be going again. this is the second one in 73k!
