autozone might have a loaner fuel pressure guage to try.
But it probably needs testing under load, got vida?

The pump might be losing its prime. It should be submerged to get proper cooling from the gas.

maybe try testing fuel pressure at the tank outlet.
Need some hose and clamps to rig it but it will show where the problem is.

I usually do all my own auto work but, I really don't want to mess things up more than they are. I'm hoping its just the head gasket. I h...

jonesg, Thank you for the suggestion, but I think we're past that point. With the engine running I can open the reservoir and see and smell exhaust. The engine might be a lost cause. That says head gasket to me, nothing more. Some people scrap the car but its very fixable even for us home gamers.
