You could check the fuel pressure in the fuel rail after you have left the car for ten minutes or put a pressure gage on it and watch it for a sudden drop in pressure when the car is turned off.
I let the car sit all night and started it this morning. it started right up. It seems this happens when the car sits for a long period of time. Rather than test it, do you think it is probably best to just replace the pump and filter? They aren't expensive parts and given the age of the car it may be a good thing to do anyway.
