You need to beg, borrow or buy a fuel pressure gauge.

Did you start more than one thread on this topic?
I just replied earlier today for the exact same thing.... check the pressure at the fuel rail with a gauge and let us know what you get. I think idle it should be somewhere around 45psi if memory serves.
