Hi,
If the check engine light was flashing, that normally indicates a misfire. By any chance, do you know the codes that AutoZone found?
As far as fuel pressure, if it is too high or too low, it can cause a misfire, but I don't believe there is a code just for the fuel pump. Usually, you will find a lean or rich fuel mixture code.
If you want, here is a link that explains how to test fuel pressure. You can try it to see if there is a problem.
