Hi motor fires on start up then runs very rough then dies , I have checked for fault codes and there are none present. I have checked for vacuum leaks and found none ,I have checked the fuel pressure and it is 35psi I still have to check the fuel pressure regulator . I am running out of options and would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks

I am no expert but I suggest you check for electrical fault cos it seems you have fuel. Possibly CAS.......

had this exact problem on sunday... (brushes on alternator voltage reg were too short no contact). probably not your problem but i wouldn't hurt to grab a multimeter and check... plus all the above....

make sure you alternator is charging, check battery volts car off, then car running. alternator should be charging at around 14 volts give or take...

any warning lights stay on after car fires up?

Fellas, the OP posted on 01 Oct and has a post of 1, he was last back here on the 02 Oct. he didn't get his quick fix/reply, so I doubt he is coming back. Certainly won't be back to say he fixed it and how.
