Make sure you don't have a clogged filter. Easiest and cheapest thing to check before you do anything else.

FUEL CONTROL
The fuel control system handles actual delivery of fuel to
engine. Fuel from fuel pump enters fuel rail, injectors
and pressure regulator. Based upon a manifold vacuum signal, the pressure
regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure in fuel system of
approximately 31-39 psi, by allowing excess fuel to
return to fuel tank.

Power to fuel pump relay is supplied from ignition switch
when in "ON" or "START" position, at which time the ECU supplies a
ground for fuel pump relay. When relay contacts are closed, power is
applied to fuel pump.
Fuel is drawn through one end of a roller-type electric fuel
pump, compressed and forced out opposite end. Pump capacity is
greater than maximum engine consumption so that pressure in fuel
system is always maintained.

********************************
However, it may be the check valve in the pump has malfunctioned. The only real way to test all this is with a fuel pressure gage installed, usually at the fuel rail.
