75 psi is very high. Are you sure you are measuring the fuel pressure correctly? Can you post a picture of the pressure gauge?

After changing all those parts, you are really left with just the fuel pump. The coil in the pump is shorted drawing too much current.

Different part numbers, different parts.

Where is that fuel pressure gauge mounted? The CORRECT way to measure fuel pressure is off the top of the fuel filter.
