what do the plugs look like ? you can test the coil(s) and wires , or go out in the dark when it's running and spray water from a bottle on the wires and see if there's any arcing , if there is do an ignition upgrade

But any chance up to this point where you smelling any gasoline fumes while driving down the road or just idling? If so I would suspect it's most likely your fuel filter and not your pump. It's surprising usually with a shop replace is a pump they replace the filter anyway because it's easier to get at if they're already there for the pump.
