chevy s 10 fuel shuts down

The problem I have is that 1. my fuel gauge does not read how much fuel is in the tank and 2. the information center does not tell me how many miles i have left in the tank and 3. my check engine light is on. I had my step-father who is a certified mechanic but not for GM check the code and it said something about the fuel pressure. I believe that the fuel pressure sensor is out. He told me to fix the fuel gauge I need to replace the fuel pump which is $300-$500 depending. Well I believe that all I have to replace is the fuel level sensor and the fuel pressure sensor. Is my thinking correct or do I have to replace the fuel pump? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello, I have an 03 Escape V6, Im having fuel starvation issues with my engine. They are random, have nothing to do with the fuel level of the tank either. She will start to chug along as if the engine is misfiring.  check engine light flashes while she is rocking. upon exceleration the rpms run smoother but not even. on idle my rpms will jump slightly. it doesnt seem to want to stall on hard exceleration or idle. Im not sure if its an injector..fuel pump..or O2 sensor…or anything else i could be missing… Help!! Thank you, Samantha
