I'd use a gage and check fuel pressure, first. The fuel pump is in the gas tank. Also, engine cranking, check pump voltage and ground, at the fuel pump connector.

Fuel pump is intank and requires the tank to be lowered to get at it.

The only indication of a fuel pump failing would be abnormal noise level . Other than that there are no way to tell if the pump is failing.
