Everything I read suggested a bad fuel pressure regulator. It is part of the fuel filter. It worked out for me since I wanted to replace this anyway since I had no proof it was ever changed. I had nothing to lose doing since I think it is a best practice to replace the fuel filter no later than 100k miles. Every 50k is probably more ideal.

If you do this you have to go underneath.
