There is no 'fuel pressure sensor' on this vehicle. It sounds like you main concern is audible engine noise/vibration. There are several common concerns with noise/buzz/rattles on your vehicle. Remove the serpentine belt first, if there is no noise, replace the tensioner. Check that the front and mid skid plate fasteners are all there and tight. Check that the exhaust manifold heat shield fasteners are all there, tight, and that the heat shield itself is not cracked/broken. Check for a heat shield with a broken weld at the elbow just below the primary catalyst, and just after the header pipe flange. A lot of these noises will occur when torque braking, at about the 1100 to 1900 rpm range, and can either happen as the rpms are rising or falling into that range.

Maybe a vacuum leak, or misfire, and you are compensating by disconnecting the MAF. Is there a check engine light?
