Well today, I go to start my car, and it it starts for a not even a sec, then turns off... i try to start again and it turns, but doesnt turn over. so starter is working. Well I try to jump it thinking its the battery, but its not, and I notice the fuel gauge which read about half full (how much gas I originally had in the car) is now WELL below E line (never seen it that low before)
Any Ideas, my guess is fuel pump?

sounds like the fuel tank ground wire is disconnected/broken off. pull the rear seats/remove fuel pump cover plate/check the ground wire.
You can make another ground with a piece of wire going from one of the fuel tank screws over to the body of the car,(like one of the cover plate screws).
