Default 2001 Caravan Engine Grief

The much better halfs Caravan has just recently started acting up. It takes a few turns to start when it used to start immediately. The gas mileage has gone downhill and it now seems under powered.

There is no CEL light thrown. I've changed the water pump, EGR valve and a minor tuneup a few months ago. It was running like a top. Now not so much........

Where do I start looking..?

I haven't yet, seeing as I dont have a tester or pressure gauge but this sounds like a great reason to get one, haha.......

What pressure readings should I have?

Can anyone tell me what fuel pressure and flow should be for a 2001 3.3L and how does one go about doing this?

I went through the DIY and couldn't find anything on this.

Pressure 53 -63 psi
Volume over 7 secs should be .25L or more
