    Junk pump replacement?

    You said the lines have been ran through, assuming you have a new fuel filter as well?

    Maybe there is a clog in the rail or...start checking fuses/relays/wiring to make sure its getting a solid connection.

    Also, this section is for the 3.4 DOHC...I'll move it for you

    Did you replace the fuel pump?

    Is it running rough all the time, or just idling?

    Does it cut out when driving?

    What all codes are showing up?
    (Go to a close auto place, they have scanners you can use for free to check codes, write each down Pxxxx - description, come back and well go from there)

    Bad Fuel pressure regulator can cause low FP at start up too.

    I had a problem getting a 3100 running at start up and it was a lazy fuel pump. It's possible you got a bad one.
