Clay:

Either you armed with an understanding of the Bosch Fuel Management 
design or a 'qualified' mechanic need to inspect both the fuel pump line 
that feeds first the fuel pressure regulator and then the fuel 
distributor as well as the line that permits fuel return.  From what you 
describe, your fuel return may be blocked or the plimbing at the fuel 
pumps and filters is all wrong
