. . . in PSI please.
What gauge are you referring to?
Glad to hear this, but this is unrelated to fuel pressure unless both are zero at the same time.
Yup, this is what I was looking for: A specific number.
We get a lot of folks on here that that tell us that [fuel pressure is fine] while not ever having measured it. Some think it'* fine because the fuel pump is running, some because it is new, some because fuel sprays out of the test port, etc. etc. then SURPRISE when we finally get them to check, their fuel pressure is low and there'* the cause. Many just don't want to buy or borrow a fuel pressure gauge, often due to preconceived ideas of the core problem.
We apparently like to help for free, but we generally prefer to be efficient with our troubleshooting time and effort . . . and yours too for that matter.
Seconded . . . ^^^^^^^

You have been asked several times what your fuel pressure is, something that you must check with an external gauge. You seem unable to grasp what information we are trying to get from you, information that we would need in order to attempt some form of diagnosis.
I recommend the car be taken to a qualified mechanic. It could be a number of things, and we are having difficulty ruling out one of the easiest things to check first. Our assistance will only be as good as the information we get.

We are still asking about fuel pressure.
Perhaps your mechanic can tell you what the fuel pressure is. Then you could tell us.
I can't see how a TV cable would limit engine speed unless . . .
. . . means that it shifts to the next gear at 3,000RPM . . . which was not said.
Please let us know what the mechanic comes up with.
