I should point you to the search button. 17 post about fuel pressure.

But check your fuel pressure regulator (FPR)
Pull the vacuum line to it and see if there is gas in it. If it's clean then your problem is the regulator itself. Unless you have an adjustable then turn it down.

i have not yet tryed to reajust it. but i did not thing it was right that it just went from 30 to 60. i have a new fuel filter, dizzi, head gasket, timming belt, water pump, radiater. so why it is now doing this it has me bogled. the o2 in the car is about 2yrs old.

Im kind of thinking you may have bumped your ajustment or something, i would suggest reajusting it to the proper fule pressure.

a new filter will cause higher pressure..especially with your FPR
