I found this posting on another page and thought it might help
I can confirm that its the fule pump ! On my '96 caravan with 92k on it, I dropped the tank and got one from NAPPAs for $176. Installed it, and the symptoms described (above) no longer exist. After 90k expect the fule pump to go out on caravans. Especially if you are getting P0171 = low fuel pressure - bank 1, when you do a code reading.
I am recieving the same code and have been trying to figure it out. I am going to try this. My fuel PSI was 30psi and suppose to be 49psi.
