I've answered your question earlier and you keep asking. why don't you do what I've suggested and comeback with some testing results-there's no quickie fix it involves troubleshooting/diagnostics to get back on the road-Your fuel pressure should be 60-66 psi,which part you don't understand from me-

I APOLOGIZE FOR CURSING AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER GUY ASKED WHAT SIZE ENGINE IT WAS ,SO I TOLD HIM. THEN I LOG ON AND SEE WHAT YOU POSTED AND GOT UPSET. I KNOW ALOT ABOUT CARS BUT I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING AND THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING FOR HELP. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST YOUR ANSWER. SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING AND THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Ras is 100% correct. Your fuel pressure is too low for that engine.
