I'll try to make it a point to hook my car up to INPA this week and see if there is a way to monitor fuel pressure.

I replaced the fuel pump with the old one that originally came with the car. So far so good...

Just an update, the car still runs fine after replacing the fuel pump (under the rear car seat) and "tightened the loose hose that connects between the MAF Sensor connector and the resonator".

I hope this will help someone who might be facing a similar problem!
