Fuel/starting issue

Yesterday my camaro had a hard time starting up (started when i first turned the key then died; then took some cranking to want to start again, then ran fine). I wouldn't have thought anything of it but it did it again(same exact thing) today. So Im leaning towards this being an issue with a dying pump, anyone confirm this?
Just want to get some opinions before i spend 150$ also any place you recommend to buy this pump from?
Advice is greatly appreciated.

Simple fuel pressure test would tell you if the pump is the problem.

same thing happeneing to me, i have to go and try to start it up again so i can bring it home. ordered a fuel pump today for it, 94 shipped from ebay, from what i head most if not all of the pumps you'll find are walbro, weather or not its sold as one.

i checked my pressure, not even a budge on the tester.


did you check your relay? i was told to check mine first before assuming its the pump. its mounted to the fire wall next to your left foot. need to remove kick panel.

doesnt ever hurt to replace the fuel filter. but yea definately test the pressure before going out and buying a new one.
