It does sound like your fuel pump. All the signs are sure pointing at it.

If it is the original pump, it is likely time anyway. Buy a new filter and change the fuel filter as well just to have a clean system.

The pump replacement is another no fun project. Hopefully your tank is not full. If you are like I am, you will make a mess. Nothing much more fun than gasoline running down your arms to your armpit. I would recommend talking to Len Cummings and getting the proper metric sized, gasohol safe hose. Finding the metric size hose is a challenge at all the parts supplier placed around here. Much less a fuel injected rated alcohol safe hose. I would replace the hose from the tank to the pump, and have that step done.

The fuel hose goes from the pump banjo fitting, over the steering rack, and down the tunnel to the engine compartment. My hose started leaking and I had to replace the lines in the tunnel. It too is a dirty pain in the butt project.
