Update from the dealer.   The dealer clarified that the fuel pump issue was not the high pressure fuel pump in the engine compartment, but the fuel pump located in the fuel tank itself.   This is a $950 part compared to the pump in front which is a $186 part.   The fuel pump in the fuel tank also requires that the fuel tank be dropped to access the pump.

I find it suspicious that I never experienced a fuel pump issue until after the GM dealer performed repairs to unclog the PCV intake which also required removal of a fuel pump. How could these two events not be related?   However, that's what the dealer is suggesting.

Will pick the Equinox up tomorrow now.   GM is suggesting another night in the shop as they noticed there was still some moisture coming from the PCV intake hose. The dealer wants it to sit overnight and dry out completely to confirm that everything is satisfactory and the intake manifold has proper air flow.
