fuel pump 190E 2.6 1991

[just-n-time]

OK gang here is the list of findings on my fuel and no start trouble, I pulled a fuel pressure gage from my storage room and the first thing was to put the inlet fuel line to the gage, then key on fuel pumps ran up and stopped. I had a reading of 190 psi and after an hour it bled down to 150. I also found that the rubber hose connections had a slight leak at both metal pipe connection. Next I went to the small line at the fuel pressure regulator but to my surprise the fuel pumps lost power, I check the new OVP and fuses are good. I am at that point of boil so I had to walk away for some thought and more research.
