low fuel pressure
I recently figured out that I have low fuel pressure. I checked the lines, they were okay. I decided to bypass the regulator and see what the pressure was coming from the fuel pump, it read 35psi. Is it common the fuel pump goes bad? Its a 2006 with 34,000 miles.

I haven't really heard of any issues with the pumps. Could you tell me what your symptoms where? I've been having problems with mine. Thanks, Mike

Could be pin holes in the fuel line within the tank. It is common problem and a relatively easy fix.
Common symptoms are hesitation when 1/2 full or less, but problem "fix" themselves when the tank is full.
