You'll need a fuel pressure gauge connected to the schrader valve on the fuel rail and the engine running. The pressure should go up when the vacuum line is disconnected. You should also check for any sign of gasoline in the vacuum hose or in the vacuum connector on the pressure regulator. There could be a leak in the diaphram allowing fuel to enter the engine through the vacuum hose resulting in poor fuel mileage and running problems.

WILL NOT HOLD FUELPRESSURE AFTER ENGINE STOP

Well the most common causes are leaking injectors, fuel pressure regulator, or the check valve in the fuel pump.
You could block off the return line to eliminate the valve in the pump.
