Hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the schraeder valve on the fuel rail, and report back with fuel pressure reading during cranking.

Just a note:
I have pulled a pump back out after it was changed in a friends car. I found that he had not hooked the the rubber transfer hose up very well. I guess after starting a few times the pressure blew it off. Anyway I reconnected the line and no problems for 2 years now.

The reason I pulled the pump was fuel pressure was very low when he brought it to me...

Really need to check your pressure
