We have a Q45 with 109,000 miles. Recently we started to notice a moaning sound coming frm the trunk area. Yesterday, my wife was in line at a drive thru and the car started to idle low, she put the car in neutral and said it had no power, she was able to make it out of the line and into a parking space. She let the car sit for a few minutes and then was able to drive home. I am now going to replace the fuel pump. I am looking for tips on replacing the fuel pump. Any help would be appreciated.

Do a search -- I cannot recall who did it, but a complete step by step was posted in the last few months . . . . oh, be sure to disconnect the battery!

Be sure to pull the fuel pump control module, remove it's cover, and see if anything looks "cooked" either the four transistor-looking things that are screwed to the sides for heat displacement, or the connector leads. You definately need to replace the fuel pump, but it's also possible that something else, like the mass air flow connection - could be causing your problem too.

Here's a thread with some pictures... do a search just in "Infiniti General" and "Infiniti Online Mechanic" for anything related to "fuel pump" and you'll be an expert before you ever get started. It's an easy DIY job, and one that many members have done and written about.
