Am I seeing a sign of impending fuel pump death (Regina single pump)? 900 1993

Hello. in the last few months we have been experiencing an intermittent problem of difficult starts on my wife's '93 945. It is a normally aspirated 940 with a Regina ignition and a single fuel pump (correct me if this is not the case on Regina cars). The symptoms are this. First start in the morning the engine cranks and cranks without starting. Then after a few separate attempts if finally catches and starts and runs fine if a little rough. Then after that for the rest of the day it will start quickly and run smoothly. Sometimes the car starts fine in morning, but still runs a bit rough for a few minutes, then all is well. This has been going on for several months and with approaching winter I am a bit worried of getting stranded. Is this a sign of dying fuel pump? Maybe something else? Please advise. I am all ears. This is wife's daily driver and she depends on it. I also get lumber with it on occasion. It's a great car and I love owning it. I hope I can make it run for another 200K miles. With help of people on this forum it may just be possible.

TIA!
