Default fuel pump going bad? makes a bzz sound

my friend has a 94 gsr and his fuel pump makes this bzz sound after about 5 mins of driving and stays on. when you start the car in the morning it doesn't make any sound until driven or so. does this indicate that its going bad? his car is also running lean (everything stock) and drives sluggish. any inputs would be great thanks!!! TIA

wow thanks for the fast reply.

the buzzing sound is coming from under the back seat(where the fuel pump is at)
all grounds are connected. im thinking about taking the fuel pressure gauge off my car and put it on his car to test it out. if a fuel pump is going bad, would the fuel pressure be lower?

o yeah
new fuel filter
timing at 16
if it helps
