if it is ACTING like a bad fuel pump, it could possibly be the fuel
pressure regulator on the fuel injection rail. this thing sticking will
mimick a bad fuel pump, by starving the fuel to the injector rail when
you have a load on the engine (going uphill, reving the engine, shifting
into a high gear to soon...)
its a little tiny piece and its $$$$$$$$$$$.
good luck
