When you ask a question, be sure to include the type of motor as it makes a difference in the answer and in this case it does. If you don't have a shraeder valve at the motor area, you will be running a four cylinder and that would make this a TBI which means the fuel pressure at idle will be 12-15 psi. If this is a V-6 motor, there is a schraeder valve and it runs at 35-45 psi. It could be the fuel pump and you are right in trying to diagnose it first as this is a costly and time consuming job. If you get the pressure and it is not right, you will have to change out the pump and in-tank strainers. If it is not the pump as in the pressures are good, I would have a throrough look at all secondary ignition outputs and the condition of the wires, coils, and spark plugs and make a determination from there. Good luck.

Completely false and just so you are aware there are no mechanics at Grease Monkey. Never take your vehicle to any place that has jiffy, speedy, quick, monkey, pep, lightning or a department store in the name. Also avoid chains. Your best venue is an independent garage employing ASE certified mechanics. Live and learn!. Call the BBB and see if they are a member.

You should get about 20 lbs of pressure on the fuel rail and with the engine off, it should hold. (run it first)
could easily be the fuel pump or a clogged vent system. If you remove your gas cap does it run better?
Could be clogged injectors.
If you have an auto parts palce nearby, have them pull the codes for you off your diag port.
