If the fuel pressure stays steady my guess would be partially clogged injectors. 40 PSI should be fine to run it.

If you are running the stock injectors you shouldn't even bother to clean getting them refurbished. For the same price you can get yourself a set of Bocsh 3s with a 3 year warranty from FIC (8 injectors for $170).
Fuel injector cleaner is not gong to cure the problem. It will only dislodge the the debris further into the injector filter.

I agree 100%...you can pull them and have a shop refurb them, IIRC I saw complete sets for under $100 on E-bay. I was lucky with mine, a friend had a brand new set of Delcos on the shelf and I got all 8 for $50.
