The fuel pump is dying needs a new one, pumping the gas pedal does not do anything at all, the V-10 is fuel injected and pumping the gas pedal only aggravates everything, only carbureted engines will squirt a bit of fuel when pumped.
Until you replace the pump, to start it turn the key but do not crank the engine, count one thousand and one, two thousand and two turn key off and repeat at least six more times on the seventh time go ahead and crank the engine and it will start, a bit rough and then it should stabilize.
To replace the pump, the fuel tank needs to be lowered since the pump is in the tank, do the mechanics a favor and take it when the tank reads 1/4 full, do not take it with a full tank, they will drain that fuel and will not pump it back in.
