Fuel Pump going bad?

Fuel Pump going bad?
I changed my rear end out yesterday on my 2000 Trans Am, but due to getting the wrong pinion seal from a kit I ordered from Ebay, I had wait until this morning to get a replacement. The car sat with the rear end in the air overnight, and when I removed the jack stands today, and got ready to drive it, The car would crank, but wouldn't start. Cycled the key, fuel pump primed and kicked off, had over 1/4 tank of gas. One of my friends checked the fuel pressure as I cranked, it had pressure. Cranked the car again pumped the pedal, fires right up.
My question is, it seems like a fuel problem to me, but it had pressure at the rails, so I don't think that would be a fuel pump? It is still doing the same thing, won't start until you pump the gas, like it has a carb or something...What else would it be? maybe something in the ignition? Bad sensor? I'm at a loss on what it could be right now. I never have had any problems out of it in the few months that I have had it, but then again it has 120,000 on the odometer so it wouldn't surprise me if it was. TIA for any help!
