I assume you mean psi not %? Did they check for any computer codes? Did they replace the fuel filter? which engine?
 
Yes PSI..sorry..fuel filter changed which made the pressure go up,but not much..What sucks is the car is 100 miles away..motor is 305,,Im stuck in a rock and a hard place,,at the mercy of these guys,and its 400.00 to tow home..
 
So you or them replaced the fuel filter not the fuel pump? This shop has no idea why the car continues to have a problem? They checked the computer for codes? What exactly have they done, checked ignition for bad coil, etc.? How long have they had the car?
