The fuel pump on that year was replaced on warranty. That's exactly what happened to me when the car was about 2 yrs old. As for the fuel gauge, the fuel tank has to be removed to get at it. While doing that check the wiring to the tank.
That being said, similar things happened to me much more recently and it turned out to be the ignition coil.
An error code has probably been set. Go to Auto Zone and ask them to read the code. They might be able to point you in the right direction.

i removed the fuel pump/gauge from the top. Under the rear bench is the access door. Lid likely very difficult to remove (I had to use hammer/chisels to turn the lid). not a bad idea to have a spare lid and o ring/seal on hand (from same guy/junkyard you get the new pump assembly?).
I could not fit the hole assembly through the hole in the sheetmetal, so I did a few surgical cuts with the sheetmetal snippers and later bent those down again (and sealed with epoxy).

Did you ever figure out your problem? I am having a similar problem. My car when started the other day ran rough. I turned it off and it would not start again. changed the fuel pump and it ran great for 4 days until I filled it up with gas. now it is doing the same thing and we tested the old fuel pump last night and it works fine. so it was not the fuel pump to begin with. And we have no idea what it could be.

Your photo link does not work (at least for me). Try again. Not sure how it works here, but there is a "IMG" button in the bottom. Or upload photos to photobucket or similar free web hosting side then post the link to it here.
I have a ton of Cougar stuff that goes to the junkyard very soon.
