Let me try and elaborate on what has been said.
Your fuel lines come from the fuel sending unit located in the fuel tank. The supply passes through a fuel filter enroute to the front of the car. At the engine the fuel lines are connected to the fuel rail which is also connected to the six injectors. A fuel pressure regulator is mounted in that fuel rail and has a vacuum line going to it from the upper intake manifold (usually a few inches back from the throttle body).

Will,
I noticed when I've been working on bufford the last couple of days that there'* a 90 degree elbow on that vacuum line right on the pressure regulator. Well I noticed mine is cracking, possibly leaking. I should get that replaced. Wonder if that is contributing to my problem? Is that something I can get anywhere (autozone) or do I have to go OEM on that ?
Thanks
