I hope by replacing the pressure regulator and ground connection my problem will be fixed.

with all the different pump manufacturers used, the wiring at the pump and splices into the OEM wiring should be soldered and heat shrink with electrical insulation to insure a good electrical connection for the pump power which does draw a few amps.

the fuel filter should look slightly dark if it has a few thousand on it . remove the filter from the frame and you should see light thru the filter media. it you cannot see any brightness when placing a light at the other side of the media then the filter is restricted. with a filter this little used perhaps the fuel supplier used is to be avioded.
