    Default VP 5litre running bad, dead fuel pump?

    Just started up my vp v8 this morning and chugged all the way to work, felt like it was running outta fuel, took it straight to the mechanic and he tested the fuel pressure, it was going up and down and seemed low.
    We removed the vac line from the fuel reg and it was the same.
    Would the problem be the fuel pump or the actual fuel reg? I drove it 3km to work and couldnt get over 60km/h, when i revved it it died, had to accelerate slowly.
