Unhappy Starting and stalling issues

I have a '97 2.5l boxster with around 117k miles on it. Bought it mid June and am now it's third owner. Love the car and it runs great so far except for one incident. Drove it out to the bar had a drink came back out to drive home and couldn't get it to start. It would turn over and start for a quick second but I would through it in gear and it would die again. Seem to be a fuel issue to me most likely my fuel pump going bad. I had over half a tank but I decided to throw some gas in since all my other tricks didn't work. Started and ran after a few tries and I was able to get it home. It drove okay not as good as normal and my idle seemed to be a little eradict jumping around 700-900 rpms. At the higher rpm range it still ran great. I've made a checklist of stuff to do this weekend before I go out buying a new fuel pump and sender unit. My question is there anything else I should add/check or any other possibilities of what could be wrong with her. Thanks for any input!
