    Worn fuel pump? Read Item 6 below:

    Ensure the engine oil and filter have been recently changed. Oil level and condition can affect fuel pressure on PSDs.

    Are you using a higher viscosity engine oil than Ford suggests? Or an additive like Lucas? The injectors on your engine are pressurized by the engine oil after it goes through a high pressure oil pump. If the oil gets too thick as it heats up, the injectors won't operate correctly, and will not inject the proper amount of fuel.
