Does it have a single pump under the car, or an additional one in the fuel tank?
The latter is known to fail, which puts extra load on the main pump. It could just be dirt clogging the in-tank strainer, or a blocked vent to the tank so that after a few minutes it can't suck any more fuel through.
I don't think the pumps are serviceable, other than cleaning/replacing the filters. They look like sealed units to me.
Check the notorious pump relay of course. As a test you could by-pass it and see if the pump(s) run and the symptons are still there.
