if your fuel pressure is at 37 at idle then that isn't too bad, maybe alittle low but nothing to be worried about.

Normal man, mine does the same. Now at WOT if it isn't hitting around 41-43 then yeah you have a problem. If it drops lower than 37 after you prime the pump then you probably have leaky injectors or a bad check valve in the fuel pump, but then it would just be hard to start but other than that it would run good.

I just went out and started my car and at idle it fluctuates from 40.0 to 41.4 (digital FP gauge). So yeah, your car might be running a little low on FP at idle, but I don't think the 3 PSI would affect much.
