Hard Starting

It just started doing this last week. I need to give it some gas. I need to step on the gas a few times before she will start. She also has a little miss?
However after she runs it seems to start ok?
I'm thinking fuel pump?? What do you think it could be? Do you know if the fuel pump can be tested??

Thanks, Rob.

I'd start with the basics. When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced?

Changed the fuel filter it was very dirty. Still will not start unless I pump the hell out of it. After she starts it will back fire out of the intake in 1st gear. I have 160,000 miles on the car. My buddy thinks it could be the timing chain but can't hear it rattle? I only drive my Mustang once a week.
