I had purchased a gauge and the fuel pressure is good and normal with no drop.

We still haven't solved the problem, changing almost all of the sensors etc. had no effect on the problem. It still stalls when you step on the gas. It will occasional rev up most of the time it dies. I have now been told by another mechanic that an intermittent or bad fuel regulator can cause this and not show any codes. It did pass the basic pressure tests but you know how intermittent problems can be.

The regulator should bypass fuel back to the tank under idle (high vacuum) conditions, when you step on the gas the vacuum drops and the regulator should react by restricting the fuel bypass to provide additional pressure/flow to the injectors.

I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet.
