Might be a dead tranny... try manually shifting into second, once you reach about 3000 shift it into 3rd. If it just revs and doesnt go into gear, drop it back into second. If it shifts back into second then you only have 1st and 2nd gears. If thats the case your trans is most likely shot.

Fuel pressure droping to 20psi would cause your car not to rev and bog. The tranny is SENSATIVE to how the engine is performing! Start with changing the fuel filter, then maybe check the regulator. Then if still nothing, most likely its the fuel pump!
