1993 Ford Escort 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

ok my car sometimes is very hard to start. If u dont hold the gas to the floor it will just keep turning over. Now I have replaced the fuel filter the regulator and even the o rings on the injectors. I have checked to make shure the vacume wasnt cloged. Wheni checked the fuel pressure it says 30. Then I hit the gas it jumps up bout 2psi up then drops to 27. The book says nornal pressure is between 35-40. I was thinking a fuel pump problem befor I tested the pressure. But now i'm lost. Where should I check now. Its got a new timming belt. New plugs, wires, and coil pack. Even a new batt

-EFI system don't like low fuel pressure-check the injector/s and the fuel pressure regulator if its leaking-if not decide on a new fuel pump-

If it sealed properly it will not cause your problem-if it leaks it will create a huge vacuum leak and can cause a no start condition.
