the line that connects the pump to feed line in the tank could have been kinked or the fuel sock is clogged in some way. Both of which has happened to me.

well if you have fuel system in your car ,, check the the Hoses ,, if they are big ,, for sure u will lose pressure
check the hoses ,, are they 4 an or 6 an or 8 an
i got a theory i use it myself ,,, if i use Welbro 255 inside the TANK ,,, + Bosch 430
with 8 AN Hose from the Bosch to the Fuel rail ,, i will lose pressure ,,, so i will use 2 Bosch
so check your hoses they might be to big ,,, i tried my Theory here in my country ,, and i guess i am right about it ,,,
hope that info will help u
