Have you taken the VST tank apart? There is a small filter/screen at the pickup for the high pressure pump. I had this problem and ended up not being able to even get on plane as the screen was clogged almost 100% and allowed just enough fuel at idle. Be careful when taking the VST tank apart and you can reuse the gaskets. The filter/screen is also before each of the injectors. I took both apart and was extremely surprised at how dirty they were. Keep us posted!!!!

Yes I pulled apart vst ,filter was clean,also check filter at regulator clean.I have heard to check ecu ,they said the voltage should change when the rpm,s go up?
