So it runs good now? Sounds more like a bad crankshaft sensor they are more random then a fuel pump failing. Have you checked for codes in the computer yet?

Yep, the fuel pump can go out and pumping fuel can help the fuel pump come back to life, here is how to change it out which should fix the problem.
