Starts and idles fine but when I try to speed the engine up with the fast idle lever it dies. It will not start with the throttle above idle. I will check the fuel pressure in the morning, but was wondering what you guys think could be the problem.

Thanks

Checked fuel pressure today. Only 19lbs and falls off fast. Fuel pump or regulator?

One or both, remove the VST, remove the pump clean, reinstall bench test. Should make 36 lbs and hold 5 minutes. If pump makes pressure and the drops regulator or seals bad.
