Fuel pump going out?

Just wondering what people think is wrong with my 95. Im thinking the fuel pump is going out. Basically it struggles to stay running when I start it. Other times it will start right up, meaning it isn't consistently doing this. When it does act up it fires right up but then will die(even if I press on the gas). Ill start it again and it will die(again even if I give it gas), and usually the 3rd try I will start it and give it gas and it will normally stay running and run fine. It mainly does this after sitting overnight. The longer it sits it seems to be harder to get started. I was gone for a weekend and came home and I tried starting it around 8-10 times before I could get it to stay running. Any info or advice would be appreciated!!

Fuel pressure tester is $30.00. Verify the problem and go from there. Get one with the long hose and you can see how its doing while driving.

You can hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key. If you don't here it wine it is probably bad but I would test the pressure also.
