Fuel pump ... or fuel filter? Change the filter first - that could very well be your problem.

ok this doesn't make any sense to me..i was heading to my work, stop on uphill, half clutch, gave it a gas, wtf??nothing and was moving a bit and cutting out few and stalled.

then my fuel gauge was less than 1/4, i just filled gas yesterday to 1/2..i ignored and heading to work, fuel gauge was slowly moving up to 1/2..
now what this got to do with fuel delievery module or fuel pump??

i am going to go get fuel filter today and replace first.

I had a huge issue with my fuel pump back last year, just squeezed in the 10 yr warranty. Got the pump replaced under warranty and as far as I know its the SVT pump that they put in for the recall. She runs like a beaut after, but the most bizarre problems were popping up when I was under 1/2 tank. Chances are you're going to need a new fuel pump Sad
