Sounds like you may be right, as that can cause the problem. First check the fuel pressure with a guage if you know how. and if that is ok then check volume by taking off the line and putting a rubber hose on the end. Then get a gas can and watch it pump into the can while the key is in the on position and look for a strong steady pulsating stream. Check those and let me know what you find. Also check fuel filters and replace if needed.
