I fixed it. It was the primary fuel pump. I started with the filter, but no gas was going to the filter. And I couldn't hear the sweet hum of the pump.
Ford/Jaguar was nice enough, in this case, to locate access under the passenger's side rear seat. It comes up. Look for two tabs under the front crease. Slide them and the seat comes up. Slide the backseat to the side. Lift up the vinyl and you will see a 6 inch rubber Tab. Remove that and there is the top of the fuel pump case. Before you proceed, go to Auto Zone and buy the new fuel pump. It will have instruction on how to swap it out. Good luck with those fuel line connectors. They are a beoch. Also, I used a hammer and a 3/4" piece of pvc pipe to remove the ring at the top. If you have a better idea, please post.
Buy the pump at Auto Zone, because it includes the two sump filters. O'Reily wants to charge you extra for them.
Some articles say there are two fuel filters in the LS. Actually there are three. Two in the tank and one behind the driver's side tire.

I'd get rid of that gas, or at least swap out the fuel filter pronto and add fresh fuel immediately.

I drove the car all night. It's like its new. No more missing. No more engine light. Everyone should swap out their old fuel pump, just for fun.

Ah, the proactive stance!
 
But change the filter, just for laughs.
