My Q45 shuts down but can be restarted when driving.I was told if I hear a loud noise from the fuel pump,this is the problem and I should fix before FECU shorts or overheats.IS THIS TRUE!

Absolutely... although it sounds like it may already be too late if it's cutting off on you. How many miles on your Q and how many miles since your last fuel pump replacement? Do you hear a humming noise from behind your back seat - especially when the gas is below half a tank?

Change the fuel pump and DO NOT BUY A USED PUMP! Make sure you replace the bad pump with a new one.

Be sure to look at your tank as it probably has some debris (maybe microfine) floating around. If it does, be prepared to remove it for a steam cleaning.

Don't for get the O ring and to at least blow your fuel lines out, and replace the filter.

Do you have to remove fuel tank on Q45 to perform feul pump removal and can you buy a rebuild kit?

You definitely want to buy a new pump!

the I ring is designed to expand over a certain period of time. be sure to replace that, I didnt listen and I had gas smell!
