Unless you know for sure that you're fuel pump is bad, then try the following first before you replace your fuel pump.

-Check your vacuum lines
-Change your fuel filter
-check your fuel pressure regulator
-check your ECU & fuel pump relays
-check your air filter
-check your spark plugs, spark plug wires, along with your distributor cap & rotor
-check your timing & idle, (you'll need a Factory service manual for this).

If your stalling problem is not due to a vacuum leak, then chances are it could be due to an engine in need of a tune up. While you're doing the tune up, check your Engine Coolant Temperature sensor & wires along with cleaning out your throttle body with Carb cleaner / Throttle body cleaner. Checking & cleaning those items usually help with idle & engine performance.

Anyhow, hope this helps.
