Today at a red light, I noticed my car had a rough idle and sounded different than normal. I hit the gas when the light turned green and it started missing and sucking down way more fuel than usual. I just replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter like 2 months ago, and I also replaced the EGR valve, IAC valve, MAF sensor, and the TPS a few months ago. The only code it shows is a P0172 so I'm almost positive it is a fuel related issue. I'm just not sure if I have a weak pump, a bad injector, a bad fuel pressure sensor or a crack in the line. I don't have a fuel pressure tester so that makes diagnosing the issue even harder. If anyone could share some input here, that would be much apprciated.

It would be best to try and locate a fuel pressure tester and a handheld scan tool that allows you to see what the oxygen sensors are doing. Anything else we are just guessing at this point. You could try and take a look for any vacuum leaks and double check the MAF sensor to make sure it's still clean.

Also...

To check your fuel pressure regulator, start the car and pull the vacuum line from the sensor. If fuel spurts from the regulator try replacing it.
