Default G20 Cranks until battery is almost dead before starting

My 89 G20 cranks until battery is almost dead before starting and if I let it die out while cranking I don't have enough juice left for a second attempt. The battery and alternator are fine, I'm thinking it might be a weak fuel pump? After it starts it runs like a champ, well except for the very loose steering, but thats another post.

Thanks!

air and fuel filter have been replaced, plugs and wires still seem to be in good shape as well.
