Fuel Related Issues - Now Showing P0087 Error

Hi all ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Looking for some assistance with an 06 XK X150, 4.2 NA. A few weeks back my car would start, idle for 10 to 15 seconds and cut out, throwing code P0087, Fuel Rail Pressure Low. We tested the circuitry, all relays etc appear to be working as you'd expect, live feed into the fuel pump, feed coming out, but motor not engaging. As such, changed the fuel pump (fun job!), only to find on first attempted start up, the fuel pump failed to prime (we did test the pump functioned before installing it and it did so with no concerns).
This then lead us to the Fuel Pump Driver Module, another beast of a job as my XK is the 127th production line model, meaning my FPDM is located on the carbon cannister and not in the boot like most are. This made it far more difficult than it should have been but eventually, job complete. The pump primed, car fired instantly and ran perfectly... for four days, then the exact same issue re-occurred, idle for 10-15 seconds, and die, any attempt at throttling the engine would cause it to run as lumpy as hell and also die.
We decided to change the fuel pressure sensor but it's not affected the symptoms at all. We've also inspected the EGR just to be cautious and again, it's in great condition and appears to be running as you would expect.
I guess my question is, has anyone experienced similar as we're struggling to figure out our next move. I've thrown plenty of cash at this recently and received very little return so I'm loathe to keep doing so with the same results.
For what it's worth, when this problem first began, I changed the battery and the same thing happened, it ran perfectly for three days only for the same symptoms to return. I can't quite understand why I get perfect performance for just a few short days and then the faults come back as if they never left.
Sorry for the essay, any assistance would be greatly received.
