check your pressure again, it should b e 41-47 p.s.i. if it's still ok,then try to put a vacuum gauge on it, if it's low you may have apartially plugged converter. if the fuel pressure is low ty changing your filter first. Also scan the engine for codes and then check your timing chainfor wear as you may have jumped a tooth on that.....
