Yes, I did fix my problem,... I completely over thought this whole issue. My Fuel pressure tested good the 1st time I tested it, but after days of trying new parts I rechecked the fuel pressure and it was very low.
Turns out the upper hose clamp that conects the fuel pump to the outlet plate nipple, had slipped down and was allowing some of the pumped fuel to spray back into the tank, SO, after repositioning the clamp, the car runs great.
