following on trev29's advice - the in-tank pump rides in a little frame that mounts on the gas intake tube inside the tank. the rubber hose that connects the pump to the tube is flexible and thin - it rots after twenty years or so. if your problem does go away when you fill up, then this hoose probably needs replacing. it's worth replacing the in-tank pump and the sleeve filter on the pump at the same time.
if you end up doing this, check carefully the in-tank pump ground wire connection. it's a spade connector on top of the round plate that the intake and return tubes mount to.
even though it's on top of the tank, it's still outside the car body and subject to corrosion from water and salt.
