Unhappy Fuel Pressure

Hey guys,
Lately I've been having troubles with my car. Once I start it, my fuel pressure gauge goes up to where it should be, I'll start to drive and after a few Km's it just drops and then my car stalls out. I don't really know where to start. I've taken the breather off and played with the gas cap thinking that would help. But everything seems to be the same, nothing really changes. I got a new breather and still the same. Any ideas? things to try or suggests?
Thanks!

does the power get cut to your fuel pump? bad relay , corroded connection??
does the pump make alot of noise? bad pump, blocked filter or line??

I don't think it's the electric.
The fuel pump makes lots of noise when the pressure is good, then when the pressure starts to drop, the noise gets quieter. I spose it could be a block in the filter, or maybe there is a pinch or something in the line somewhere.

Fuel pressure dropping means that either the pump is going bad or there is an electrical problem in the pump wiring circuit. Check all connectors for corrosion or dirt before going for a new pump or pump relay.
