only 6.5 volts to the fuel pump

ok this is where i am. checked voltages through the ECC relay. how power to the blk/ylw there. changed the relay and then got power to the new fuel relay connector on the red wire with ing on. checked voltage at the fuel pump and got these readings.

when the key is turn to ing i get 12v that then drops to 7v.
with key in the starting mode i get 12v.

fuel pump does pump for approx 3 - 5 seconds. i assume that this is to pressurize the system. checked for fuel at the fuel rail at the pressure valve point and no fuel. held the pressure valve open while trying to start motor but still no fuel. is there something else inline that could be a blockage? ran it 3 times with no fuel coming.

what am i missing?

Unhook the front of the filter and turn the key on. If no fuel, go to the back of the filter. Proceed like that until you get fuel.

i have a new fuel filter and a new pressure regulator. the only thing left is the fuel pump. when i bench test it, it seems to run fine but perhaps it isnt putting out the pressure necessary. is there a way to test it for out?
