do fuel pumps slowly **** out or do they just stop working only?

today my car did not start good, took a good 5 sec of cranking, then when it did it ran at like 200rpms for a sec like it was barely running, then slowly gets up to normal idle after 15sec or so. but it doesnt fire right up. its like 8 cranks or so not the usually 1-2. then if i shut it off after its been running, it will start back up fine.


its happened a few times in the last day or 2. maybe its not my fuel pump at all?

im running uberdata and dsm 450s. my ***** only at like 5psi right now cause my wastegate is weak.

its the stock pump on a 96 civic y8
