You got new injectors so the only thing left is the fuel pump might have an internal leak and is not holding pressure.  Key on fuel pressure should be around 40 psi.  Turn the key off and it should hold that pressure for at least 2 minutes and only lose like 2 psi or less of pressure.  If it is reading 7psi at key on then you got a leak in the fuel system or the pump is bad...

Let me ask you this if you start it up after driving around it starts pretty good but if you let it cool off or sit overnight it takes forever to start?  If so this is more ammunition to replace the fuel pump.  Time to get the walboro 255 my friend!

That is correct.  It starts really hard first thing in the morning, but if I have to shut off the car to say run inside a store for 10 mins, she usually starts right up when I come out.

So you guys are thinkin fuel pump...  my neighbor said the FPR could be leaking and just sending the fuel back to the tank.  Anyone else think it might be a bad Fuel Pressure Regulator or no?

Sounds like a fuel pump to me but you could replace both I suppose   ;)
