then that would say your FP regulator is not working like it should.
make sure there is vacuum on that hose of course,
but Fuel Pressure  must go up  some when you disconnect the vac hose to
the FP regulator.

what's confusing ?
the tests told you exactly what they are supposed to.
'the indicated repair' ....right now, so far, is your FP regulator is
not happy.

though sometimes. ....it's something else, or that plus something else etc.
