CSFI system gremlins

Having a little head-scratcher with this system. The power plant is a 1997 350, its in a grumman food truck.

When you turn the key ignition to on the pump will prime and will read 60psi on a fuel gauge. The truck starts just fine and idles fine for 2-5mins. However if you start to drive it let it idle longer than 5 mins the fuel pressure will constantly drop until the truck stalls off. You can if you're quick cycle the key off than on (while the truck is running) and the pressure will spike back up to 55psi and continue to run fine.

The regulator and pump have both been replaced and the problem persists. There are no noticeable signs of a leak, on ground/in the intake.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
