Have they checked the fuel pressure when warm, both KOEO and KOER? If the pressures are off and you have a new fuel pump, then you might have a fuel rail pressure sensor (FPS) that is not reading correctly. The FPS tells the PCM how to modulate the voltage to the fuel pump to maintain desired fuel pressure.

If the KOEO fuel pressure starts out good but quickly drops, that would imply that there is a fuel injector that is not closing completely or a leak in the fuel system.
