Battery has a full charge and battery connections all good? as far as fuel pressure, If too low, problem usually on the supply side, meaning fuel pump and fuel line. My fuel pressure spec says 50--60 psi, if right in the middle, should be fine. You can do voltage drop test for voltage wire to the fuel pump. Do the same test on the ground. In the diagram, top wire to pump is voltage, bottom wire is ground. Right now I'm thinking fuel pump? You may have more than one problem?
