Fuel pump

I drove my car to work this morning and it cuts off right at the traffic light. I try to restart it I I smell unbrnt fuel and some smoke from the exhaust. After about a cople of minutes I got the car to stay started and as I parkingmy car the things shuts off again plus it was idling pretty rough. I figured it might be the fuel pump or maybe bad injectors but I didn't smell gas under the hood when I lifted it. BTW checked I checked the MAF sensor yesterday evening and not sure if that might be a problem as well. Maybe you guys can offer some other diagnosis for this problem. Thanks.

Do I have to order one from the dealership or does local auto part stores carry them?

Well car ran worse today than yesterday. I smell a lot of fuel when trying to start the car, so I'm thinking either 1) My spark plugs are fouled 2) A faulty or dirty MAF sensor or 3) Fuel pump problem. I'm changing the plugs tonight and inspecting the MAF sensor. I hope it just the plugs, this is my daily driver and I'll be SOL if if doesn't start tonight

I'll inspect the MAF sensor tomorrow. I replaced my spark plugs and smelled (unburnt)fuel on the old ones. I then took it for a test drive and still doing the same thing but not as bad as before, it did stall once and at about 40mph it was surging so I'll inspect the MAF sensor tomorrow. Can I use PB Blaster to clean it?
