1999 Pontiac Firebird 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 99 firebird v6 3800 series. I have been having problems with it starting. And every now and then it will die on me. I had a mechanic look at it with a fuel pump pressure it read 50 lbs. He had said it wasnt getting enough gas. It doesn't want to start but he told me to click the key ignition a cpl of times to I guess prime it. Then it starts after I do that. I just need a professional to tell me if it is really a fuel pump. If so could I interchange with another pontiac firebird yr? Or could I just buy the pump instead of the whole thing. Theses pumps are very expensive. Please help! With this problem.

Do you needles jump when it dies? It may be your fuel pump but my problem in my 95 TA was the electric ignition switch on the steering colomn. My needls would jump up and down, then it would die
