I have an 89 mustang 5.0 mostly stock. I installed a walboro 255 lph pump around last march or so. About a week ago it started running rough and having hard starts. It would pop through the intake when I tried to accelerate hard and eventually would barely run. Well I hooked a fuel pressure gauge to it today and while it was actually running it only showed 20 psi. What could cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Check the voltage at the pink/black wire on the fuel pump harness disconnect, then check the ground.

Ok so I put the ground in the body somewhere and check voltage on all wires at both sides of the connector right? Just key on? It doesn't have to be running right
