This does sound like a possible fuel issue but we need to confirm that. Here is a guide that helps with checking the pressure:

If it turns out to be low pressure then we need replace it. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Lastly I attached the process out of the manual that will give you the info needed as well to replace the pump. The location of this is in the fuel tank so that needs to come down in order to replace it.
Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
