97 firebird starting problems

I've got a 97 formula with 120,000 miles and for the past couple of weeks I have had trouble starting the car. The car doesn't have a problem turning over, it just has a problem catching. Normally I have to try it 2 or 3 times before it actually starts. I had the battery, alternator, and started checked and they all tested fine. I'm not sure if it is the fuel pump or not because I just had one of those replaced when the car had 90,000 miles. I have never run out of gas with the car, because I always fill it when it shows that it is only at 1/4 tank. I took it to a repair shop today and they told me that it might be the fuel pump, and the only way to figure that out would be to put one in to see if that does the trick, and if not oh well, they get to keep their $1000 anyways. Someone send me in the right direction because I'm pretty burned out and don't want to have to start replacing stuff that doesn't need it.
