How did you determine the the pressure was dropping.

If you used a pressure gauge please post the exact numbers for:
Key On - Engine Off
Key On - Engine On
Key-Off - Engine Off

How abour Key On, Engine On, Vacuum line removed from Pressure Regulator?

Assuming that your pump is still energized with the Key On - Engine On, I'd lean toward a bad regulator.

Try pinching off the return line and see if the pressure stays near 40 with the Engine On.

Seems like your PCM is not keeping the pump energized at Key-On, Engine On.

Do you have an FSM for your XJ?
