Hey, This is my first post, I've been visiting this board for 6 months or so, but never posted.
I had the same problem, but the fule pressure was fine on my car, I switched out plugs and wires and it got rid of it. since you have low fule pressure I'm guessing that the problem is something else but you never know.

Check under the hood to make sure everything's all plugged up tight.I had the same problem and it turned out that one of the plugs on my wiring harness was backed out just a little and it would start slightly and then stumble and die.Not sure if that'll help,but good luck.

I had NO problems what so ever until one day it just Cr@ped out on me. I was driving, everything going good, then it started choking and died. Waited a few mins, fired right up, drove a few more blocks, same thing. Took me about 2 hrs to drive 2 miles back to my house, car kept on dying after a few feet.
Thats what I would look into, fuel PUMP. Good luck.
