for what its worth , i've seen two fuel pumps go the same way. that was while driving it bucked and died. started back up and lasted for months before happening again. it then took longer for it to start each time it would do that. sometimes a few minutes. right now my pump is in the same state. i went to start my horse in the morning. no pump sound, no fuel, no nice ride to work. got home and the sucker started right up. the new pump is on its way as we type.
