as someone else said, check the rotor button, sometimes the screw backs out.
I would be checking the MAIN RELAY under the dash, it could be shorting out, causeing the Fuel pressure to fall.
I would also check TIMING

timing and screw are gettin checked in the mornin , as far as the main relay , it is clickin on like it should , will it still click if it its bad?
