I have had a fuel pressure guage taped to the windshield and it doesn't fluxuate at all. There are no misfires or codes and I seem to always have good spark and fuel pressure. This has been going on for about 1 year and getting worse all the time. I wish something would fail so I could replace it.Hope you techs out there have promising answer for this one. thanks born
Since you have a fuel pressure gauge, watch the pressure AFTER you turn off the engine. It should drop a little but it should hold pressure. If it drops to near zero, you could have a bad fuel pressure regulator (my guess this is your problem) or a injector that is leaking.
