fuel pressure went Up ?

Well, Today I started My car in the Morning and was letting it warm up as it is fairly cold here.

The car started fine and was running Fine, But after about 2-3 Minutes, it started to Lope and Shudder, then eventually died.

I wonderd wtf happend so I opend her up and started fiddling with it and saw that my Fuel pressure was at 9 psi, as opposed to 6 previously. I fooled with it for a while, got it goin again with no problems, and drove off as usual. Any ideas ?

Mechnical fuel pump might be on it's way out. Or just built wrong from day one. I assume you don't use an electrical pump and separate regulator.

Stock AC/Delco pumps sometimes come right out of the box with too much fuel pressure in my expererience. Still, weird problem.
