Right now it will crank but not start. fuel pump comes on but runs more than just the normal couple of seconds.Then when it does start up it has a very rough idle and will pull great in reverse, but does not want to pull in drive. it will bog down (losing power) and eventually shuts off. Any ideas i am stumped.

Good morning.

The first thing I would do is to have the actual fuel pressure tested. there may be a access point on the fuel rail that you can check the pressure. if you do not have a tester, you can rent one from a parts store to test.
