Am not a formal mechanic, and have never worked on a Firenza. But the pump
looks like it is an "in-tank" model.
Your best hope is that there is access, either through the back seat
(sometimes you just remove the seat bottom cu****on, and a cover covering a
hole leading into the fuel tank and pump is right there. On some other
models, it is way in the front part of the trunk. Thankfully, that is
fairly
common on sedans. Because if there isn't, the gas tank would have to be
dropped, and then you have a mega-job on your hands. But if the hole is
there, the job is surprisingly easy.
I might suggest a Haynes auto repair manual. For a job like that, and a
car
like that, the approximately $15 they cost is well worth it. Check Auto
Zone or a similar auto parts store - most of them have them. Once you
have
it, the manual will tell you quickly what you are dealing with, whether
you
do it or somebody else.
Hope this helps.
