Default Ever heard of a bad fuel pump that holds pressure?

My local dealership is claiming that I have a bad fuel pump even though it holds firm pressure. I am having a hard time finding evidence this is even a possibility. They tried an expensive fuel injector flush first, only to find out it didnt work so they said they wouldnt charge me for it. (good thing too because it costs $200).

symptoms: drives perfectly fine but randomly stalls at under 10mph speeds and while at stop lights etc. No codes...no misfires or bad sensors found so far.

Could it really be a bad pump? What about maybe a plugged cat? The injectors don't seem to be the problem...they tested good with an ohm meter.

Any other symptoms? Like for example crazy electrical
stuff right when it dies (Xmas-tree dash, etc.)?
