Rent a fuel pressure guage and check the fuel pressure at the regulator. If the pump is bad you will not get enough fuel pressure while the engine is running, especially if it drops significantly when you rev the engine. If there is no pressure drop then check for something else. You may also want to purchase a new FPR and replace it first to see if anything changes. It is a lot cheaper than a new fuel pump.
