Hello, so your normal fuel pressure spec is 59psi +/-5psi. If it's not holding pressure after the key is off either the pump's check valve is stuck open allowing fuel to leak back into the tank, or a fuel injector is leaking fuel into a cylinder, in the case of an injector leaking that much fuel down you would notice a ton of white/blue smoke at start up or even worse the cylinder would hydro-lock because a liquid cannot be compressed. So, if you don't see any smoke at start up then its most likely something to do with the fuel pump itself or the fuel lines which you would be able to see. The Fuel Pressure regulator is built into the pump in this design so it's in the tank with the pump. I'll put the fuel pump operations service info up for you.
If you can block off the feed line from the pump at the fuel rail, and just turn the key On, so it primes the system, then monitor just the pressure coming from the pump, this way the fuel injectors are out of the equation. Then you can tell if the issue is in the tank. But you need to separate the rail and the pump to determine the exact cause of the issue.
