Is my fuel pump going out?

[Al S]

My car has been running pretty good, until I mentioned to the wife that the
car was idling and running real good. I won't make that mistake again.

Here is what it is doing. I start it up and it will run for a few seconds
and die off. Restart, I hear the pump buzz - the engine runs-dies-stops - I
turn the key it does the same thing maybe three or four more times. It will
finally run but acts like it is flooded, I can't get the RPMs to increase,
if I push the pedal too much it bogs down and dies. After a few of these
acts then it will start running but then as I am slowly accelerating it will
again lose power, slow down, regain power increase some more die off a
little. If I keep playing with the gas pedal it will finally get up and go.
Finally It will run as if nothing has happened. If I stop at the store,
leave it for ant length of time, I go through the same, start-die,
start-die. If I hold the RPMs up with the gas pedal and use the brake pedal
while shifting into drive it will go. Once it runs it's ok, accelerates up
through 5500 with no drop outs or starvation. It does this whether cold
(60f) or hot.

The car is a 1990 80 non-Q 4 cyl. 204K on the body, engine rebuilt about 50K
ago. New distributor/hall sensor about 6 months ago. Fuel filter replaced 4K
ago(Replace at 25K). Replaced the check valve a few years ago, just because.
Plugs and wires about 6K ago. Replaced old gas cap when this first started
with a new locking one. Air cleaner new. Cold start valve a couple of years
old. Hawaii is not what I would call cold.
I don't smell any leaking gas in the engine compartment.
I don't hear the fuel pump after it pressurizes.
I checked all over for vac leaks and didn't hear or find any.
I cleaned the ISV, not very dirty, it a couple of years old.
Checked all connections in the engine compartment, clean and snug.
Cleaned the air flow sensor plate.
I use premium gas. Add Techron about once a year.
I don't have a way to check fuel pressure.

Is 204,000 enough miles on the fuel pump?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
