First welcome to the forums!

You could use a fuel pressure tester to see what the fuel pressure is KOEO and KOER.

I would also remove the vacuum line from the FPR and see if there is evidence of fuel leaking from the FPR due to a faulty diaphragm.

Also, the next time the vehicle is running, take off the above said vacuum hose and see if you see any fuel leaving the FPR.

Also, next time, for any other vehicle related issues, i would recommend to post them in the ‘Service and Repair’ part of the forum for a quicker response C8-)
