Yeah, that is one sign of a bad pump. Another sign would be stalling after stabbing the throttle for a second. There's also a few others.

Yeah, doing it yourself you could save around 150-200 dollars. I know that for some, that's money well spent!

When I was looking for an IP here's a place that was nice enough to respond. I ended up using a use one from a friend. The installation is pretty simple if you've ever done much wrenching.

His price was $200 and $12 shipping to anywhere in USA and $90 core charge (if your is worthless)

might be the pump

i work in an injection shop now just holding down the throttle will really not tell you crap, if you live near a injection shop have them hook a flowmeter to the return and see what that looks like its about the best tell tale sign, if its high that means you advance piston inside the pump is worn and its time to rebuild it, now $750 thats nuts unless you end up having to put in a new head and rotor, but otherwise we do them for $410 exchange or they run right around 450-500 let me know what happens
