If I have determined I have a fuel pressure problem is the solution to that a new fuel pump?

I would fist try the fuel filter then if you still have a problem check the fuel pressure regulator if after replacing both fuel filter and regulator you still have A problem I would think it is possibly in fuel lines or pump (i say fuel pressure regulator assuming you have a electronic fuel pump and not a old mechanical one)

could be, but stop a moment and consider this. You have a fuel pressure problem. befor replacing the pump, how about checking and replacing the filters that you can get to. is there a possability of sticking fuel injectors? a rotted fuel line that may just be starting to leak, wich reduces the pressures and ect.
If your pump is in the fuel tank, if it has to be replaced, replace it. But why do that, if there may be trouble else ware?. look at just about every thing, other than fuel tank to puimp removal

Not necessarily. Most cars have a filter in the gas tank which is supposed to never need servicing but rust particles can clog it so that the fuel pump cannot get fuel. You could also have a collapsed gas hose or a gas line which has rusted through.

9 times out of 10 it will be the case.
There is always the possibility of a fuel a bad fuel pressure regulator, but it's rare.

Most definitely, It also would be wise to replace the fuel filter as well.

Probably would be best...pumps can't be rebuilt. Secondary pumps can be installed if the original is too difficult to get to.
