Have you tried a vacuum gage? Low vacuum would indicate a clogged exhaust system.
Are you testing the fuel pressure before or after the pressure regulator? I was thinking that it could be bad.

Timing belt slip.
Properly read vacuum testing will identify this and most other mechanical issues. But as a matter of investigation you should check the timing marks directly. |

Are you sure you don't have a blocked exhaust? The catalytic converter could be blocked or the muffler.
