Subject:hard starting problem?

my van is acting funny.....it use to start right off the bat....now if
left over a couple of days , it turns over....won't start.....turn over
again...runs then dies.....start it again runs like a sewing
machine.....the fuel pump has about 1000 miles on it...it is a bosch.....

Take it on a long trip.....acts like nothing is the matter..

on another note....the battery turns over.....but left over a week it
needs a slight boost....the battery is used and is about 6 months old...

So does all this tie into together, or separate problems....and what
should I start looking for.....I am in the process of moving the radio, xm
unit, amp and cigarette lighters to the aux battery....for process of
elimination.....and for better camping
