I sent you fuel system diagnostics and it will tell you the pressures you need to see an dhow to measure them. if yo only got 18 psi of fuel pressure, I'm surprised it even runs. Don't push it or boost it or you will be doing another head gasket.

You'll want to check it with the hose off,and I have heard anywhere between 40-45 psi for a base.
