My inclination is to ask for a fuel pump dynamic test of pressure/volume. Your friend may be correct and it will need to have the low fuel pressure issue addressed. The fuel pressure being low may or may not have something to do with the pump, but the pump does not set the pressure, the regulator does, and the pressure should be checked along with the delivery volume and it should be done with the vacuum line to the regulator disconnected. If you choose to replace the pump after your diagnostics, also consider replacement of the fuel pump relay, as well as the fuel filter.
