Running/ Fuel issue, solved maybe?

ok well my car hasnt been running very good as of late, checked/replaced sparkplugs wires cap rotor. When i would give it gas it would wanna die and popping coming out of the intake so it would seem it was running lean. It would idle but once you gave it gas it would pop and wanna die. I was told to may be fuel pump so i decieded to check the fuel pressure, also the priming sound i usually hear didnt sound the same as normal. ok so when i turn the key and the pressure read about 25psi then got it started and it would stay around 25psi and gave it a little gas and as the popping started and it sounded like it was gonna die it looked like the pressure dipped to 15-20psi.
From what i can find out the pressure sould be over 40psi, i know i should change the filter and check again and if the pressure is still low it points to pump. Have i covered what it could possibly be or did i miss something.
