what is your level of mechanical competence? I'm not being rude here - a
new fuel pump has little to do with proper fuel pressure - that is
controlled by the fuel pressure regulator (and secondarily by the damper),
which in turn are controlled by engine vacuum. You find out if you have
the
proper pressure by using a gauge to measure it, not by replacing something
and declaring it fixed.
you can clean injectors yourself, I've done it - just use carb cleaner -
but
if you aren't much of a mechanic, you are likely to cause more trouble
than
you fix.
Instead of shotgunning a problem, some care spent in dianostics will not
only save you $$, but will get the problem fixed (usually) --- of course
some problems are really really hard, but your's doesn't sound like such a
problem
