I did most of the diagnosing myself, so that should save some money and time.
when you started this you had fuel pressure jumping 40-47 psi engine running. then the fuel pump replaced and the pressure increased and was steady around 45 psi.

with the fpr replaced what is the pressure ?

I mentioned before at the fuel rail area squeeze the return line with the engine running and the pressure Gage connected see if it surges up to 80 psi area.

or connect to the fuel pump filter the pressure gage and ignition on engine off see how high it goes and if it holds pressure. should go high .75-90psi.
