Sounds like a perforated fuel pressure regulator.
You can tap in a gauge at the schrader bleed off valve to monitor the pressure.
Or just replace the regulator.
Fairly commmon.

Thanks Alex,
Just one more quick question would this cause a over rich condition also?

Check the fuel pump relay.
Usually under the drivers seat.
