cranking but not starting

my ss just started this im thinking maybe the fuel pump...ill crank and it can crank for up to 30 seconds with out starting...but then when i release the key and try again it will usually start right up..It also doesn't have any loss in power or anything while driving it, What do you guys think?

could be fuelpump. my 88topaz did the same thing to me. my 3rdgen was like that as well, i think there was a loose wire to the fp relay or a loose wire to the fuse for the fp
