My buddy that is a mechanic said that it is possible for the fuel pump to develop flat spot in the gearing that can cause intermittent problems such as these, but his wholesale price for the pump is over $300.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I had an 89' Accord that had the same problem. Fixed it in the parking lot of my dorm in college.

So far, I have put another 100 miles on her without another issue. Quick Story: I had a coworker walking by while I was in the garage trying to get her started last week. My coworker said, "sounds like your fuel pump is out". To which I said, "it was bound to be something at 100,000+ miles"... her jaw dropped. "WHAT?!?" she said. "...I had mine go out at 45,000 miles on my last car!"
That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why we drive 4Runners.
